Bespoke box
For a client we are currently working for we were in the search for a producer of bespoke boxes. Located in Amager (Copenhagen) we found Æskefabrikken ELVO A/S, established in 1923 – the coolest old school producer of bespoke boxes.
All man made and top nudge quality – amazing.
Now back to the drawing board to complete the box design.

High on energy
The 53rd edition of the annual Salone del Mobile is well over. As always, Milan is the place to be, to see and in which to be seen. This year compared to last year we detected a slight change of mind-set. The gloom and doom of recent years has been replaced by a positive sense of energy and optimism.
As usual it’s impossible to see everything – but from what we saw a few favourites spring to mind that we would like to give a special mention.
Wallpaper Handmade, this year at Leclettico, did it again; Quiet Motion (BMWi) by the Bouroullec brothers offered one of the more tranquil moments during Salone; our hero Angelo Mangiarotti at 10 Corso Como; ADIDAS by Tom Dixon. And finally, one thing that made a huge impact on us was NICHETTO = NENDO – this exhibition and exercise represents the future of design, which goes beyond the individual to embrace a holistic vision.
Quiet Motion moment. Bouroullec X BMWi.
Revolving Room by Patricia Urquiola.
Nendo for Ceasarstone.
Nichetto = Nendo. An experimental partnership between two designers, a play of intricate associations between things, where the designers cease to be autonomous and instead become part of a collective whole.

Bringing new perspective to Pressalit
Being truly design driven means leveraging on the potential of design and developing a clear differentiation on the market via strong products, compelling storytelling and a clear design signature.
That is the task that OeO has undertaken for the Danish company Pressalit, one of the leading manufacturers of toilet seats and specialised bathroom solutions for people with disabilities, a company with a great design legacy and a strong CSR profile.
In 2012, Pressalit teamed up with OeO to define a new direction of working with design and designers,
and to create an inspirational and highly visual experience for presentation of the Pressalit universe at the ISH fair in Frankfurt.
The starting point for developing the ISH concept was to create a dynamic and innovative environment that offered a comprehensive approach and a good balance between the narrative and the sales-oriented. The concept takes its starting point in four of Pressalit’s design values and is bound together by the flexible and functional GRID system. With GRID, a strong visual cohesion is established at the stand – a dynamic and almost landscape-like installation, which attracts attention from afar.
Design driven evolution is the keyword for the new direction developed for Pressalit, bringing new perspective to the company’s design legacy, using design as a strategic tool to position the brand, and reaching a new global audience via contemporary design solutions that communicate the values and qualities of Pressalit. One of the first result is a fresh new offering in the market developed by Dutch design duo Scholten & Baijings, creator of the new Colour Blend series that offers consumers a new opportunity to style the bathroom with simple and beautiful patterns. The new Colour Blend series was launched at ISH in Frankfurt, 10-14 March 2013.
