Nakagawa Mokkougei is part of the Japan Handmade initiative who teamed up with OeO Design Studio to bring new revitalised life to their unique heritage products.
Kanaami-Tsuji is also part of the Japan Handmade initiative.
In 2006, Henrik Marstrand and OeO joined forces in developing an international home accessories brand with awe-inspiring, timeless design and with a clear ethical dimension and commitment to local crafts.Hold on to your pants guys. Today I’m shedding a little light on one of the most talented design studio’s I’ve come across in years. Big call, right? Just wait! Established in 2003 is the mythic offspring of super strategist and design-guru Anne-Marie Buemann and editorial maestro and creative demi-god Thomas Lykke. Bringing an unparalleled sense of honesty to each project, Copenhagen & Kyoto based OeO celebrates the bajeebies out of awe-inspiring design, by pedestaling their evolving perspectives to the world upon a truly global, multi-cultural scale. Building upon an ever-expanding portfolio including work in product design, industrial design and interior architecture, OeO has been lapping up the accolades, recently being nominated for a 2016 German Design Council Award in Retail Architecture and winning the prestigious 2015 Iconic Award for Interior Design. Seeking collaborative projects with an increasingly varied spectrum of designers, businesses and crafts people like Japan Handmade, Dinesen, Bang and Olufsen, Wallpaper Handmade and Leica Optics, OeO strategically pushes traditional design fields beyond their respective niches, presenting them to a broader audience. Flipping exciting times! I can’t wait to see what comes next but until then here’s some of their past and present work. Take note, enjoy and get inspired. It doesn’t get much better than this!
Kakaido Objects Collection.Kakaido Objects Collection – Tea please. Designing a series of new products for Japanese tea-ware company Kakaido, OeO has delicately evolved traditional tea-ware crafts to compliment contemporary living. Taking inspiration from the Chazutsu tea caddy, originally designed by Kiyosuke in Kyoto in 1875 and widely celebrated for its sleek style and air-tight design; OeO has re-appropriated a traditional perspective of Japanese domesticity and directed it to a global audience of high design lovers. Staying true to the original product’s intentions – to imbue a sense of timelessness – OeO strategically directs the Kakaido business beyond the tea market by designing complimentary water pitchers, milk jugs, silver trays and precious boxes for the every person, regardless of how much they yearn for their next Japanese sencha green. Essentially meaning I don’t have to drink tea to warrant getting my hands on this collection. OeO? More like LOveO.
Dinesen Showroom.Dinesen Showroom – Shiver me timbers! Yellowtrace, being on the ball of current design news, covered this project a while back but I’m going to bring it up again. The Dinesen Showroom is a little timber heaven that celebrates the quality, variety and scope of products offered by the renowned Danish floorboard producer Dinesen. To celebrate their collection of timber products, Dinesen asked OeO to create a showcase exhibition in the form of a 600m2 show room. Given the size, OeO designed the showroom in two parts. Firstly an exhibit that stages the company’s awesome floorboards in the form of an apartment with ballroom, dining area, library, kitchen and wine cellar. Then secondly, to create a series of contexts that celebrates the applicative diversity of the traditional timber products. Moving beyond Dinesen’s traditional image as an insanely perfected floorboard manufacturer. OeO designed and overlooked every bespoke, handcrafted processes within the project, right down to the joint detailing of the stools. There is something kind of cruel about those timber stools, tables and bookcases and the perfected way they’ve been crafted into the space. Repurposing Dinesen products OeO asks its audience to reflect back on Dinesen’s products with renewed and fresh eyes. How else can we use this product? You couldn’t perfect the art of opening the market up with design anymore. Simply ace.
