Os & Oss - Body of work

Os & Oss is a design studio based here in Eindhoven and this year for DDW they where able to showcase their best work created since they began more than 7 years ago in a beautiful location inside the newly renovated building in Strijp T.

Body of work

Body of work encompasses their best projects developed in the last 7 years, since the studios conception in 2011.

Their objects include lamps, a desk, chairs, mirrors, coffee tables and a very humorous lounge chair that was created for the danish label Please Wait To Be Seated.

Matrix

A showcase of surfaces, seating and lighting that together show a broad application of the concept, to showcase the possibilities as well as the visual aesthetic.

Repeated Mirrors

Perspectives

A technique of depicting volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface can be referenced to the viewer’s perspective or ‘point of view’. As the viewer begins to perceive the objects it becomes apparent that no two perspectives yield the same visual effect. For the juxtaposition of the light filtering foils in combination with the glass surfaces can create moments of deep density or contrasting transparency and all the variations there within.

Perspective no. 1

Perspective no. 2

Syzygy: Eclipse

Syzygy: Occultation

An occultation occurs when an apparently larger body passes in front of an apparently smaller one.

Beautiful collection from AND LIGHT was also presented for the first time in the Netherlands, part of this collection is designed by Lukas Peet (brother of Oskar) who lives in Vancouver Ca.

overall, one of our favourite things we saw this year at DDW.

Hope you liked it as much as we did!

Montana Free, free your personality

The standard compositions range in size and function from the smallest design: a two-shelf-high bench that can fit under a window – to the largest solution: a six-shelf-high unit perfect as both an airy and decorative room divider or a spacious shelving unit placed against a wall.  

“Freedom is the opening act before happiness comes on”.

Designed by Jakob Wagner

The new Montana Free shelving system is a new kind of furniture for a new way of living. Freestanding, easy to assemble and irresistibly mobile. Choose from 12 compositions with or without interposed shelves in 4 colour possibilities and optional textile panels in 8 different colours.

“Freedom is my favorite color”.

“Freedom is not a feeling, it's a lifestyle”.

Montana Free is designed to last. But also made for change. Because life changes. Your mood changes. Your needs change. So does Montana Free. Move it around, expand it, add more colours.

Montana Collection IV

This season, Montana introduced their new Collection IV, which is a series of ready-made pieces that you can easily choose for specific solutions. This collection comes very handy for those who love Montana but are overwhelmed by the huge array of possibilities the Brand has to offer. The whole philosophy of Montana since it began in 1982, is to create possibilities, and this new way of presenting these, as they call them “ready-made solutions” , give a specific function to each one of them, so you only have to pick your solution and choose your favourite among 42 different colours.

All of these awesome images were created by Montana.

We have divided them into the separate areas of the home.

Our top pick from this year's VTWonen & Designbeurs

This year we totally missed the VTWonen & Designbeurs, but of everything we have seen online, this is definitely our top pick.

Amsterdam based Floor Knaapen, designed a “Home” for Eigen Huis & Interieur, a gorgeous minimal space in soft tones, and we spotted some pieces of our favourite brands.

Using beautiful objects from MENU and &Tradition, the magazine did an outstanding job.

We love the way Floor used an achromatic palette to create a contrasting backdrop for natural colours, like brass and wood. Love to see the FORMAKAMI pendants lamps from Jaime Hayon, I've had a crush with them for a long time, hope soon you can find them in our collection?

A glimpse of the new Androgyne coffee table under a beautiful brass Wall clock designed by Norm Architects.

Jaime Hayon’s Formakami lamp for &Tradition as a table lamp.

And what do you think about these mirrors? They are designed by April and May for Loof furniture I totally love the combination and balance between the oak and the mirror, and I find super handy the little shelf where you can keep your favourite things such as jewellery, make-up, keys …..

Thanks to Elvera van Schaik from April and May for the wonderful images. via aprilandmay.com . Read more about her experience and her thoughts in her blog.

Next year we will make sure not to miss the Beaurs.

What are your thoughts? tell us in the comments.

Until next time!
Enjoy your space.

Baux acoustic panels and tiles

We love BAUX. It’s modular, comes in many colours, shapes and sizes, and its a not-so-expensive solution for acoustics if you are actually concerned with aesthetics.
We first found out about BAUX by following Form Us With Love, a Swedish design studio that we absolutely admire.

Ive gathered some images from their image bank, along with their own text, but I can tell you as an already active user of BAUX, they are as good (or even better) as what you see from their own communication.

They are super easy to install (meaning you just have to glue them to the wall) and since they are modular and there are so many possibilities, the end result really depends on your own (or the architect’s) creativity.

You can see a project we did with BAUX here.

Give us your comments or contact us if you want to know more.

Functional + beautiful

BAUX was founded on the belief that building materials should be surprisingly functional and remarkably beautiful. BAUX designs, produces and markets functional construction materials that meet the contemporary expectations of architects, engineers and builders – without compromising tomorrow’s safety and environmental standards.

BAUX Acoustic Panels

BAUX Acoustic Panels is an environment-friendly, recyclable material made from wood wool, cement and water. The natural components together provide many functional characteristics. BAUX Acoustic Panels is available in 7 patterns; Quilted, Check, Stripes, Lines, Diagonal, Arch and Curve. All designed to be combined into infinity.

BAUX Acoustic Tiles

These are the basic shapes:

They come in 2 sizes: H = 29 cm and H 59 cm.

And these the basic colours, which if you are ordering more than 35M2 you can get your own custom colour.

As you can see, you can go as big and as creative as you want!
