On the 12th of June OOOMS stepped on a plane to Mexico. We were invited by CEDIM to give a 5 day workshop about interior & product design. Before we left we put lots of effort in the preparation so nothing could surprise us.
CEDIM is situated in Monterrey, a modern city which is surrounded by stunningly beautiful mountains, where it easily gets up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Our group consisted of 23 students from different departments and some participants were already graduated. One of the main goals of the workshop was to make the participants realise that limitations of a material mainly exist in their brain, not in the material itself.
The participants really worked hard. Not only we, but even the staff was surprised how the students took over the whole school to work on their projects. Students were working in the classroom and in the workshop, but also any other empty room, in the basement and in the hallway. It was amazing to see them work with such enthousiasm! Even when Mexico was playing the soccer match against France, the students kept on working while watching the game! The night before the presentation some students even didn’t go to bed and worked the whole night, just to have their project finished; That’s the spirit!
At the end presentation we really felt proud of our students; So many great projects made in just 1 week!
According to all the lovely reactions from the students and the staff, and even the director of the school,
we must have done a pretty good job!
We would like to thank all the participants for their great effort and our friends of the staff for taking such good care of us!

Oooms was invited to take part in a project ‘Iconen in Beeld’, commissioned by De Negende and EDHV. Together with 22 other designers they created a collection of souvenirs, each based on an iconic building in Eindhoven. This led to a great variety in designs, presented in a visually very clear way; each souvenir has been placed on a timeline, at the point in time the according building was built. Oooms was selected to design a souvenir for the ‘Evoluon’.
The Evoluon is the symbol of Eindhoven as ‘company town’ during 1920-1970. During the heyday days of Philips the inhabitants of Eindhoven were mostly real ‘Philips people’; they worked at Philips, in their spare time they went to Philips relaxation Centre and the children went to a school where Philips had mostly a large share at the establishment. Also in the church Philips was represented.
Oooms designed a souvenir which translates the atmoshere at that time; A small furnace bridge with a tea-candle. The shade of the old logo brings back memories to the period in which Philips was represented in all facets of life.

Fooddesigner Annelies Hermsen asked a selected group of designers to be creative with 100 kilograms of sugar.
While receiving lots of comments on the sweet smell in and around our workshop, OOOMS created a roomdivider with caramel & Meranti.
The creations were presented during the Dutch Design Week 2009, the perfect meeting place for designers, companies and public. A diner was served, mainly containing sugarbased ingredients. Meanwhile visitors could enjoy the remarkable designs at Lebesque, a well-respected company in both the Netherlands and abroad.

Commissioned by De Hub, and in cooperation with TNO, Studio OOOMS is working on a product manufactured by Rapid Manufacturing.
The design is based on the idea that using RM is still a relatively expensive technique. Inspired by a ordinary paper party banner, OOOMS designed a structure which is made in one small piece. When you stretch the structure it will increase in size. The result became a beautiful, stretchable necklace, looking like lace. This product was shown during the Dutch Design Week 2008, together with the results of other participating designers.

About one third of Holland (meaning "hollow land") is below sea level. Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is built in the middle of a former lake. Flevoland, which is also reclaimed from sea, is on average 8 metres below sea level. The concept of "Hollow Land" highlights the fact that Holland is not only flat, but below sea level as well. These topographical depressions are as iconographic as wooden shoes and tulips. A mould is made of a hole in the ground, somewhere in the Netherlands. From the mould, a perfect replica of the hole is produced in ceramics.
