Tessa Koot is an Eindhoven-based designer working across multiple creative fields. Since her studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven, she has developed a visual language that focuses on the intersections between contemporary life and imagination.

Koot explores the boundaries of object, space, and concept. She is best known for her signature design and objets d’art, in which she juxtaposes conflicting ideas and images. By observing, dissecting, and re-assembling the objects and phenomena of contemporary life, her work often blurs the lines between the whimsical and the mundane. Her autonomous studio work and curated group exhibitions have been showcased internationally at museums and galleries, including Milan Design Week and Dutch Design Week.

Her commitment to the field extends into education. For over 12 years, she has been a faculty member at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) and the Design Academy Eindhoven, focusing on curriculum development and guiding the next generation of designers to reach their artistic and professional potential.
