Background
Jochen Magyar is a Belgian designer of collectible furniture and sculptural objects.

Interior architecture
OKYO, since 2009
Jochen Magyar designs from a place of calm.
In 2009 he founded his interior architecture studio: OKYO. Today, together with his team, he realises unique complete projects, locally and internationally: private homes, but equally luxury boutiques and fashion stores, retail interiors, showrooms, restaurants and hospitality, hair salons, dental practices and pharmacies.
“For me, an interior is not a backdrop but a very important place in a person's life. It is where you live, work, rest, and where the finest moments with family and friends take place.”
