Jana Miklošová is a Slovakian multidisciplinary product designer and artist, specialising in handcrafted jewellery. Based in Amsterdam, Miklošová explores the interplay between mixed materials, forms and textures. In her jewellery designs, Miklošová approaches each look as a stylist of objects, employing her extensive background in fashion and design to craft an exclusive and unique aesthetic. In styling and designing objects, Miklošová demonstrates her own interpretation of beauty. Practically, she forms graceful objects with purpose – occasionally employing vintage or leftover pieces to create the old anew.

Miklošová has developed a distinctive style, born from a meditation on shape and feel and stimulated by its application to fruitful collaborations. Miklošová has produced innovative pieces in partnership with major fashion houses such as Ronald van der Kemp and globally acclaimed visual artist Claudy Jongstra. Within these projects Miklošová explores the cleavages between her and her collaborators, and identifies contrasts to inspire the formation of her objects.

Miklošová received her formal education in product design from the Technical University of Košice, Slovakia, receiving a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the institution between the years 2002 and 2008. As part of her degree, Miklošová also completed an Erasmus year in 2005 at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal in Germany, during which she completed a program in industrial design. Miklošová’s jewellery designs and work as a stylist have been featured in multiple prominent publications, including Vogue Paris, Vogue Czechoslovia, Vanity Teen, Schön magazine and Elle Croatia.
