Born to Chinese parents in Kuala Lampur, Jiun Ho left Malaysia 1991and arrived in America to study design at the International Academy of Art in Chicago. Career opportunities followed graduation, including work at a prestigious international architecture and design firm. The foundational view of the industry it provided Jiun proved essential when, in 2000, he founded Jiun Ho, Inc. a multidisciplinary design firm based in San Francisco.
Today, Jiun applies his belief in the power of design, and his dedication to meeting the highest standards of craftsmanship to create collections for Jiun Ho Furniture, Jiun Ho Textile, and Jiun Ho Lighting. Additionally, Jiun and his team produce award-winning interiors for luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants and diverse private residences around the world.
For inspiration, Jiun looks to travel and to nature’s singular beauty, and then manifests them in designs that tell stories that transcend time and place.
Jiun lives in San Francisco and Sonoma County, CA. with his partner and their two adored dogs, Eddie and MacAllister, aka “the Royals.” And when not indulging them, Jiun indulges his twin passions: traveling the world and cooking food( from around the world) for friends.
