Joi-Design announces management shakeup
Interior architecture studio Joi-Design has unveiled its succession strategy amidst its 21st anniversary celebrations.
Managing Directors Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk and Peter Joehnk have opted for a handover to leaders within the current team – Sabrina Voecks, Barbara Wiethoff and Thomas Scholz – thereby preserving the studio’s design culture while ensuring business continuity.
“Design is alive, it’s always in motion,” says Joehnk. “Our approach has always been based on the dynamics of change: to keep up with the zeitgeist and serve our partners in the best possible way. A company is also alive and needs to evolve. It’s time to put the responsibility into younger hands. Sabrina, Barbara and Thomas have helped us make Joi-Design a success for many years. They have mastered our company’s philosophy, principles and processes as well as we have.”
Kretschmar-Joehnk adds: “We found the right people. Where did we find them? Right at our side, within the Joi-Design family itself. With their competence and talent, their leadership will ensure business continuity and continue serving our project partners’ brands in the best possible way.”
The two former Managing Directors will retain advisory roles as the new leaders continue familiarising themselves with their increased responsibilities.
Voecks comments: “Continuing Joi-Design’s success story is an exciting challenge. We will build on the team’s dedication and talent as we continue forging a path in luxurious interior design. Together with them and our partners, we will pursue an innovative strategic plan to stay true to the spirit of Joi-Design: a design by people for people, conscious of values and taking responsibility.”
