Nico Spacecraft

Designers and artists Jess & Nicolas Meyer believe in the balance of things and choose to create a body of work that stays true to their belief in wholesome value and respect for life. Put that together with their love for the BAUHAUS philosophies and you get the core influence driving their entire approach. Their work is clearly not just about the end product but the entire process - the story behind it. Their award winning company Nico Spacecraft is based out of Roberts Creek BC, Canada and used by the couple as a professional playpen, utilizing it as a creative platform they have full control over. The results of their doing has earned them international recognition for unique designs, precision work and a focus on sustainability long before the “green trend” became popular. Their shop is the key to their hands-on approach and is were the Meyers manufacture small & limited runs of top-end furniture, sculpted pieces and custom kitchens. The two storey structure, faced with glass, also functions as their laboratory to sample ideas and develop prototypes for clients, as well as bring the studio’s own designs to life. Their work has been shown around the globe and featured in blogs, books and magazines across North America and Europe. Their joint adventure began over 17 years ago, each bringing an extensive set of creative abilities and experience to the table. Their curiosity to explore everything new, their passion to create and their individual exposure to various countries and cultures throughout their lives are all key ingredients to this couples dynamic. Jess was born in Taiwan, raised in Singapore and Iran and finally enjoyed her education in fashion design, business and finance after immigrating to Canada. Born in Germany, Nicolas was raised and trained as a fine furniture maker & designer in Switzerland before moving to Canada.
