Now at OODE we have a series of lights by dutch designers Sam van Gurp and Esther Jongsma, called EXPLODED VIEW; Do we understand what happens when we dim the lights? And to what extent could the dimming become part of the design? EXPLODED VIEW shows that the key factor is to move the light source closer to the object or further away. After all, the sun never fades; it is the earth that moves closer and further away, causing the light to reflect, change colour, dim or die. Ultimately the experiment has led to a series of lamps representing different approaches: Cumulus, which dims through layering; Eclipse, which keeps the light contained or sets it free; and Lunar which plays with reflection….

A 3D rug, made by dutch designer Tijmen Smeulders. Tijmen about the project: “I searched for a logic that brings together all the elements of which a rug exists. Color, shape, material, density and pile height are re-connected with each other in order of strengthening each presence. By making use of a color gradient, a transition from long to short poles and an unusual oval shape, the rug has become a three-dimensional object that defines its own space. You can feel and see the rug is changing from the inside out”.
