IdN – International Designers Network, Volume 15 Number 1, 2008

IdN (International Designers Network) is a Hong Kong-based international design magazine founded in 1992, distributed across more than 40 countries and widely regarded as one of the most influential graphic design and visual communication publications in the world. The magazine covers graphic design, illustration, typography, motion graphics and creative culture, with a strong focus on emerging and established talent from across the global design community. Volume 15 Number 1 (2008) is a double feature issue covering The Semiotics of Illustration and a Music and Images Special, with a bonus interactive DVD included.

Within this issue, pages 101 to 105 feature a multi-page editorial report on Dutch Design Week 2007, written by Petra von Mel and titled “Dutch Designers Buck Bleak Trend.” The article takes the theme of Dutch Design Week ’07 — “Design Works” — as its starting point, arguing that Dutch designers reject dystopian visions of the future in favour of pragmatic, human-centred and optimistic approaches to design.

Dutch Designers Buck Bleak Trend – The Article

The feature opens with a bold typographic spread introducing the article’s argument: that while Hollywood and popular culture tend to depict the future as a dark and chaotic place, the designers shown at Dutch Design Week 2007 in Eindhoven demonstrated that design holds the key to an ever-improving quality of life. The article profiles several Dutch designers exhibited at the event, using their work to illustrate the broader character of Dutch design — functional, conceptual, clear and never over-elaborate, yet always surprising.

Designers featured in the article alongside Bloomming include Michiel van der Kley, whose work is presented at the opening of the piece, and other participants in Dutch Design Week 2007 including Bart Hess and Angela Jansen.

Mireille Meijs and Light Facet

On page 105, the article profiles Mireille Meijs as one of the talented young designers whose work exemplifies the Dutch design spirit. The editorial describes Light Facet as a snowflake-like window shade with a poetic twist, and frames it as Meijs’s response to her instinctive urge to design objects that improve life. The article explains that the inspiration for Light Facet came from a friends’ gathering at her home, where sunlight was pouring through the window. Since she considers sunlight too beautiful to be blocked entirely by ordinary curtains, she developed a product that people can adjust according to how many rays of light they want to enter the room.

The article places Meijs’s design philosophy clearly within its Dutch context. She is quoted describing Dutch design as strongly conceptual, simple and clear, but always surprising — and noting that compared to other design traditions, Dutch designers tend to be very down-to-earth. The feature characterises her as a designer who finds solutions for different situations, driven by a desire to make things more beautiful and brighter.

Multiple photographs of Light Facet are shown across the spread, including large-scale installation views showing the product suspended from a ceiling in what appears to be an exhibition setting at Dutch Design Week. The images show visitors interacting with and walking around the installation, conveying the product’s physical scale and its ability to transform an interior space. Close-up photographs show the individual faceted, diamond-shaped leaves in detail, demonstrating how their geometry creates shifting patterns of light and shadow.

Publication Context

The article appears in IdN alongside coverage of Dutch Design Week 2007 as part of a broader editorial interest in the Dutch design scene and its global relevance. The framing of the feature — Dutch designers as optimistic pragmatists who use design to improve everyday life — positions Light Facet and its designer within a wider cultural narrative about the character and international standing of Dutch design.

IdN’s international distribution meant that this feature introduced Mireille Meijs and Light Facet to a readership of graphic designers, creative directors, art directors and design professionals across Asia, Europe, North America and beyond — audiences not typically reached by Dutch interior design or architecture publications.

Leolux Collection 2009–2010

Lightfacet featured in the Leolux collection catalogue

In the 2009–2010 collection catalogue of Dutch furniture manufacturer Leolux, Lightfacet was presented as part of a curated interior setting alongside the iconic Wibber lounge chair. The inclusion positioned Lightfacet not merely as a room divider, but as an architectural object that complements high-end furniture and contemporary interior environments.

A sculptural backdrop for contemporary interiors

Within the catalogue, Lightfacet appears suspended as a series of elegant vertical panels, creating rhythm, depth and visual separation within the space. The geometric surface interacts with light and shadow, adding texture without overwhelming the surrounding furniture.

The presentation highlights one of Lightfacet’s defining qualities: its ability to function simultaneously as an architectural element, a decorative object and a practical spatial divider.

Dialogue between furniture and architecture

The catalogue paired Lightfacet with the Wibber chair, originally designed by Friedrich Hill and later reintroduced by Leolux. The combination demonstrates how geometric furniture and architectural elements can reinforce one another within a cohesive interior concept.

The faceted structure of Lightfacet echoes the angular forms and sculptural character often found in contemporary furniture design, creating a subtle visual dialogue between object and space.

Light, transparency and texture

Unlike traditional partitions, Lightfacet does not create a solid barrier. Its modular composition allows light to pass through while still defining zones within an interior. The individual facets can be rotated, enabling users to continuously adjust transparency and create changing patterns of light and shadow.

This balance between openness and separation makes the design particularly suited to residential interiors, hospitality projects and contemporary workspaces.

Featured presentation

Rather than being showcased in isolation, Lightfacet was integrated into a fully styled interior scene. The catalogue used the design as a backdrop for the Wibber chair, demonstrating how the modular divider can enrich a space through texture, geometry and visual layering.

Close-up photography emphasised the precision of the repeating faceted modules, while wider views illustrated how the system can be used to define areas within an open-plan environment.

Why this feature mattered

Leolux is internationally recognised for its design-driven furniture collections and collaborations with leading designers. Being selected for inclusion in the collection catalogue placed Lightfacet within a carefully curated portfolio of contemporary design products and demonstrated its compatibility with premium furniture environments.

The feature reinforced Lightfacet’s position as more than a room divider: a modular architectural element capable of shaping atmosphere, creating privacy and adding sculptural presence to an interior.

Frits Magazine – Ring One by Bloomming

Eindhoven Design Duo Featured in Frits Magazine

Published in Frits Magazine, June–July 2009

Dutch lifestyle magazine Frits featured Ring One, the iconic interlocking ring design created by Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs of Bloomming, in its “Favorits” section highlighting notable products from Eindhoven and the surrounding region.

The publication introduced the young Eindhoven-based designers and their innovative interpretation of a traditional symbol of connection and commitment.

Ring One

Ring One consists of two complementary rings: a men’s version and a women’s version. Individually, each ring has a distinct shape. Together, they fit perfectly and form a single unified object.

The design explores the idea that two individuals can maintain their own identity while simultaneously becoming part of something larger. Rather than using decorative symbolism, the concept is expressed through the physical interaction of the rings themselves.

When placed together, the two rings interlock seamlessly, creating a visual representation of connection, partnership and unity.

Design Concept

The strength of Ring One lies in its simplicity. The rings are designed as two separate objects that only reveal their full meaning when combined.

This interaction transforms the jewellery from a decorative accessory into a tangible expression of a relationship. The design demonstrates how form can communicate an idea without the need for additional ornamentation.

The project reflects Bloomming’s early design philosophy: creating products in which concept, functionality and aesthetics are inseparable.

Materials and Availability

According to the publication, Ring One was available in:

• Silver
• Gold
• White gold

The rings were produced in a range of sizes and could be purchased either as a pair or individually.

Eindhoven Design

At the time of publication, Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs had recently graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven and were building the foundation of what would become Bloomming.

Ring One attracted attention for its clear concept and elegant execution, earning coverage in design magazines and publications both in the Netherlands and internationally.

Eigen Huis & Interieur – Lightfacet & Reflections by Bloomming

Dutch Interior Magazine Explores the Rise of Faceted Design

Published in Eigen Huis & Interieur, May 2011

Dutch interior magazine Eigen Huis & Interieur featured two Bloomming designs in a trend report dedicated to the growing popularity of faceted forms in contemporary design.

The article highlighted Lightfacet, the modular room divider designed by Mireille Meijs, alongside Reflections, a sculptural steel mirror designed by Karin van der Zanden for Bloomming. Both designs were presented within a broader movement inspired by architecture, crystals and geometric surfaces.

Lightfacet

Lightfacet transforms a simple room divider into an interactive play of light, shadow and transparency.

Composed of individually adjustable faceted elements, the design allows users to influence the amount of light passing through the surface while creating ever-changing geometric patterns. The magazine notes that Lightfacet was available in virtually any size, making it suitable for a wide variety of interior applications.

The design’s distinctive faceted structure reflected a growing fascination with geometric architecture and polygonal forms that characterised many design trends of the early 2010s.

Reflections

Also featured was Reflections, a handcrafted steel mirror designed by Karin van der Zanden for Bloomming.

Rather than presenting a flat reflective surface, Reflections uses folded steel facets to distort and fragment reflections, creating a dynamic interaction between object, light and viewer. The mirror transforms everyday reflection into a sculptural experience while continuing the geometric language explored throughout the Bloomming collection.

Architecture as Inspiration

The article opens with a photograph of the iconic Blob building in Eindhoven, designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas. The building’s faceted exterior serves as a visual reference for the trend explored throughout the feature.

By placing Lightfacet and Reflections alongside international furniture, lighting and product designs, the publication positioned Bloomming within a broader international conversation about geometry, architecture and contemporary design.

A Defining Design Language

Looking back, the feature captures an important moment in Bloomming’s development.

The faceted forms explored in both Lightfacet and Reflections would become central to the studio’s design identity. What began as an exploration of geometry, light and reflection would later evolve into Facet, Bloomming’s internationally recognised room divider system.

La Vanguardia – ES Magazine

Decorative Screens and Room Dividers (“Líneas Divisorias”)

Published in the lifestyle supplement ES of the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia on 24 October 2009, this feature explored the growing popularity of room dividers and decorative screens as tools for shaping contemporary living spaces. Under the headline “Líneas Divisorias” (“Dividing Lines”), the article presented a curated selection of international designs that redefine interiors without the need for permanent walls.

Redefining Space Without Walls

The article opens by explaining how screens and room dividers allow homeowners to create distinct zones within a space without structural alterations. Rather than building walls, these flexible elements provide a subtle way to introduce privacy, improve functionality and create atmosphere.

According to the article, room dividers can separate living and dining areas, define a home office, create a dressing area, or simply add visual interest and intimacy to a room. Their lightweight and adaptable nature makes them particularly suited to contemporary open-plan living.

Bloomming’s Lightfacet

Among the featured designs was Lightfacet, the modular room divider designed by Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs for Bloomming.

The article describes Lightfacet as:

“Reinventar el visillo para dividir espacios”

or:

“Reinventing the net curtain to divide spaces.”

Photographs show Lightfacet suspended within a contemporary interior, where the faceted modules create a semi-transparent partition between the kitchen and living area.

Light, Transparency and Movement

The feature highlights one of Lightfacet’s most distinctive characteristics: each diamond-shaped module can be individually opened or closed. This allows users to influence transparency and create their own patterns while maintaining a visual connection between spaces.

The article explains that the design consists of interconnected plastic diamond forms that can be adjusted individually, enabling a wide variety of compositions and lighting effects.

Unlike traditional screens, Lightfacet does not simply block a view. Instead, it filters light, introduces texture and creates a dynamic interaction between openness and privacy.

Featured Among International Design Brands

Lightfacet appeared alongside products from various international furniture and interior brands, reinforcing its position within the contemporary design market. The editors selected it as an example of innovative room-division solutions that combine functionality with strong visual appeal.

The publication presented Lightfacet as a modern interpretation of the traditional curtain or screen—lighter, more adaptable and more architectural in character.

Prestige 164 Magazine (China) – Clock Delay by Bloomming

Dutch Design Featured in Chinese Lifestyle Magazine

Published in Prestige 164, August 2009

Chinese lifestyle magazine Prestige 164 featured Clock Delay, the experimental clock designed by Bas van Leeuwen for Dutch design studio Bloomming, in its “What’s Up” design section.

The publication highlighted Clock Delay as an unusual interpretation of timekeeping that transforms the familiar clock into a kinetic mechanical sculpture.

Clock Delay

Unlike conventional clocks that display time through hands on a flat dial, Clock Delay reveals the underlying mechanics of time itself.

The design consists of three rotating gears representing seconds, minutes, and hours. Rather than hiding the mechanism behind a clock face, the movement becomes the central visual element. Time is read at the point where the three rotating wheels align.

Constructed from stainless steel and aluminium, Clock Delay combines engineering, movement and visual poetry into a single object.

Featured in the “What’s Up” Design Section

Prestige 164 presented Clock Delay alongside a selection of international design innovations and lifestyle discoveries from around the world.

The magazine described the clock as a contemporary object that challenges conventional expectations of how a clock should look and function. By exposing its internal workings, Clock Delay invites users to slow down and engage with the passage of time in a more thoughtful way.

Design Philosophy

Clock Delay was created from the observation that modern products increasingly hide their workings behind smooth surfaces and digital interfaces.

By making the mechanism visible and essential to the reading of time, the design celebrates craftsmanship, engineering and curiosity. The clock encourages viewers to look beyond pure functionality and appreciate the beauty of mechanical movement.

Rather than offering an instant reading, Clock Delay asks for a moment of attention. The process of discovering the time becomes part of the experience.

Product Information

Product: Clock Delay
Designer: Bas van Leeuwen
Studio: Bloomming
Materials: Stainless steel and aluminium
Dimensions: Approximately 35 × 35 × 48 cm

101 Woonideeën – Grip by Bloomming

A Clever Table Designed for Small Spaces

Published in 101 Woonideeën, August 2011

Dutch interior magazine 101 Woonideeën featured Grip, a compact and multifunctional table designed by Bas van Leeuwen & Mireille Meijs for Bloomming.

The product appeared in the magazine’s “101 woonideeën” section under the headline “Handig!” (“Handy!”), highlighting its practical solution for flexible living and small interiors.

Grip

Grip was designed as a side table that can be attached almost anywhere.

A distinctive clamp integrated into one corner of the tabletop allows the table to be fixed securely to another table or work surface. This creates an additional tabletop exactly where extra space is needed.

The concept combines mobility, simplicity, and functionality in a lightweight design.

As Described by the Magazine

The article explains:

“Need an extra side table? With Grip you can create one in no time. No matter how thick your tabletop is, the table clamp simply attaches underneath.”

The magazine also notes that the table was available with a bamboo tabletop and could seat four people when combined with a larger table arrangement.

Design Philosophy

Grip reflects a recurring theme in Bloomming’s early work: finding elegant solutions for everyday living.

Rather than adding another piece of furniture to a room, Grip temporarily expands existing furniture, allowing spaces to adapt to changing needs.

The design is especially relevant for:

• Compact apartments
• Flexible workspaces
• Dining areas requiring occasional extra seating
• Temporary extensions of existing tables

Product Information

Frits Magazine

Topdesigners van de Toekomst

Published in 2008, Dutch lifestyle and culture magazine Frits dedicated a feature to the emerging generation of designers shaping the future of Eindhoven’s creative scene. The article, titled “Topdesigners van de Toekomst” (“Top Designers of the Future”), highlighted a selection of promising young talents connected to the Design Academy Eindhoven and the city’s rapidly growing design culture.

Eindhoven as a Breeding Ground for Design

The article opens by observing that whenever the Dutch Design Week takes place in Eindhoven, one thing becomes immediately clear: the city is overflowing with talent. Journalist Monique van Empel notes that Eindhoven is home to an unusually large number of design partnerships and creative collaborations, many formed during studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven (DAE).

The feature presents several designers and studios considered part of the next generation of Dutch design, including BCXSY, Studio JSPR, JOINE Office for Design, and Bloomming.

Bloomming

Among the selected studios was Bloomming, founded by Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs.

The article explains that their collaboration began during their time at the Design Academy Eindhoven:

“Opeens was het ‘blooming’ tussen ons en sindsdien wonen en werken we samen.”

Translated:

“Suddenly it was ‘blooming’ between us, and ever since we have been living and working together.”

The feature emphasises the complementary nature of their partnership. According to Bas:

“Mireille is conceptueel erg sterk, ik ben juist technisch goed.”

Translated:

“Mireille is very strong conceptually, while I excel in the technical side.”

Growing Recognition

At the time of publication, Bloomming had already gained attention at numerous design events and exhibitions. The article notes that their work had recently been presented in cities including:

• Eindhoven
• Brussels
• Utrecht
• Amsterdam
• Rotterdam
• Hong Kong

This growing international exposure reflected the increasing interest in their experimental approach to interiors and product design.

Lightfacet

The article features a large image of Lightfacet, Bloomming’s modular room divider system.

The accompanying caption states:

“Roomdivider Light Facet maakt het mogelijk om te spelen met licht en schaduw.”

Translated:

“Room divider Light Facet makes it possible to play with light and shadow.”

Lightfacet is presented as an example of the studio’s ability to combine functional interior solutions with an architectural and sculptural aesthetic. Through its rotating diamond-shaped modules, the divider allows users to adjust transparency and create changing patterns of light throughout a space.

About Eindhoven

When asked about Eindhoven, Bloomming highlighted the city’s creative energy:

“Eindhoven ontwikkelt zich op diverse vlakken, niet alleen op designgebied maar ook op het gebied van architectuur, exposities, muziek en dergelijke. Er zit veel creativiteit in Eindhoven en dat lijkt steeds meer naar buiten te komen.”

Translated:

“Eindhoven is developing on many levels, not only in design but also in architecture, exhibitions, music and more. There is a great deal of creativity in Eindhoven, and that that seems to be becoming increasingly visible to the outside world.”

This statement reflected the optimism surrounding Eindhoven’s transformation into one of Europe’s most influential design cities.

Elemente Magazine (Canada) – Light Facet by Bloomming

Dutch Design Featured in Canada’s Design & Architecture Issue

Published in Elemente Magazine, July/August 2009

Canadian design publication Elemente Magazine featured Light Facet, the modular room divider designed by Mireille Meijs for Dutch design studio Bloomming, in its Design + Architecture Issue.

The publication presented Light Facet as an innovative interior solution that combines privacy, light control and decorative expression within a single adaptable product.

Light Facet

Bloomming’s Light Facet was selected as one of the magazine’s noteworthy contemporary design products.

The publication describes Light Facet as a ceiling-mounted curtain constructed from modular diamond-shaped elements. Each individual facet can be rotated independently, allowing users to influence both the amount and the direction of incoming light.

Unlike traditional room dividers or curtains, Light Facet functions as a dynamic architectural element that can continuously change its appearance.

Original Article Text

Dutch design firm Bloomming has a precious idea for your home: a ceiling-hung curtain of modular, multifaceted white diamonds.

Designed by Mireille Meijs, each panel can be individually tilted up or down, allowing the user to control the amount and shape of the light.

Light Facet can be mounted as a room divider or in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal configuration.

Design Concept

Light Facet was developed around the idea that a room divider should do more than separate spaces.

By rotating the individual modules, users can create varying levels of openness, privacy and transparency. The resulting patterns of light and shadow change throughout the day, giving the divider a constantly evolving appearance.

The modular system allows installations in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making it suitable for residential interiors, offices, hospitality projects and public spaces.
