The clever furniture designs of OOOMS

By Rain Noe - July 20, 2010

Dutch design duo Guido Ooms and Karin van Lieshout are OOOMS, a two-person atelier with the creativity of a ten-person firm, as evidenced by their body of work. Here's a few of our faves:

The Expect cabinet's clean, symmetrical shape leads you to believe it'll open up into four normal drawers. Wrong! Instead you get a hinged lid, a sliding top, a swivel-pivot, and one normal drawer thrown in as a token.

The Rebellious cabinet is a piece of furniture that would drive the anally retentive totally insane--the drawers never shut. Not all at the same time, anyway; close one and another pops open, like it was designed by Bugs Bunny.

The Lo-Res Chair shows us what the iconic Eames chair might have looked like if it were CAD'ed up on an old Commodore 64 or similar. Made out of polyurethane foam, though we doubt it's as comfortable as the original.

Check out the rest of OOOMS' fun stuff here and here.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
