Het Beste van 2011 – Novelties magazine for architects and other creative professionals

Het Beste van 2011 (The Best of 2011) is a Dutch-language novelties magazine compiled for architects and other creative professionals, published in January 2012. The publication was assembled by advertisers active in the architecture and design sector, and distributed to a professional audience of architects, interior designers and creative practitioners in the Netherlands. The magazine presents a selection of notable products, materials and design solutions introduced or highlighted during 2011, serving as a reference tool for professionals seeking innovative solutions for architectural and interior design projects.

Drie Dimensies, Grenzeloze Mogelijkheden – Three Dimensions, Endless Possibilities

Pages 4 and 5 of the magazine feature a two-page spread for 3form, headlined “Drie Dimensies, Grenzeloze Mogelijkheden” (Three Dimensions, Endless Possibilities). The feature presents three of 3form’s modular three-dimensional product lines — Shapes, Ditto and Facet — as a cohesive family of architectural solutions that allow designers to play with structure, form, colour, shadow and light using durable and translucent materials.

The opening spread is anchored by a striking full-page photograph of the Ditto system installed as a large-scale screen against a cobalt blue wall, with an Eames DAR chair placed in front, emphasising the product’s architectural scale and visual presence.

Facet by Bloomming

Within the feature, Facet is described as a fully modular system for dividing spaces or decorating window partitions, with unlimited design possibilities. The article specifically credits the product to the young, talented duo Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs, from the creative design label Bloomming. This is one of the few instances in the 3form promotional context where Bloomming is named explicitly as the originating design studio, giving the designers direct credit alongside the manufacturer.

The article explains that Facet’s three-dimensional elements can each rotate individually through 360 degrees, allowing users to compose a unique, interactive pattern on an equally unique system. The product is described as ideal for application in restaurants, bars, retail environments, wellness centres and office interiors. The second page of the spread features a close-up photograph of Facet installed in a restaurant setting, shown alongside a long dining table with pendant lamps, illustrating how the screen functions as both a spatial divider and a decorative surface in a high-end hospitality interior.

3form as Manufacturer and Partner

The feature presents 3form as a leading designer and manufacturer of award-winning, environmentally responsible materials and solutions for architecture and design. The innovative Varia Ecoresin system — the material platform underlying Facet and the other products in the feature — encapsulates fabrics, organic materials and textures within translucent resin panels, and is applicable for walls, doors, hanging installations, lighting elements and other innovative architectural applications. The Ditto product, also shown in the spread, is noted as being composed of 40% recycled material, reflecting 3form’s broader commitment to sustainability.

Publication Context

Het Beste van 2011 was distributed at the start of 2012 as a professional reference for the Dutch architecture and interior design market. Its audience — architects and creative professionals — represents the primary specification audience for products like Facet. Inclusion in a publication of this kind, positioned explicitly as a best-of survey for the year just concluded, placed Facet among the products considered most noteworthy by manufacturers and suppliers active in the Dutch design sector during 2011.

The cover of the magazine itself features a dramatically lit purple installation of another three-dimensional modular wall product, reinforcing the broader editorial theme of texture, light and spatial transformation that runs through the issue.

Andmag – Clock Delay by Bloomming

Turkish Lifestyle Magazine Highlights an Unconventional Dutch Clock

Published in Andmag, October 2008

Turkish lifestyle magazine Andmag featured Clock Delay, the experimental clock designed by Bas van Leeuwen for Dutch design studio STUDIObloomm (later Bloomming), in its design and trend section.

The publication presented Clock Delay as an innovative response to a modern culture of consumption, drawing attention to the clock’s exposed mechanics and unconventional way of displaying time.

Clock Delay

Clock Delay challenges the familiar image of a clock.

Rather than relying on traditional hands and a printed dial, the design uses three separate rotating wheels that represent:

• Hours
• Minutes
• Seconds

The current time is revealed at the point where the three wheels intersect. This unusual approach transforms the act of reading time into a more conscious and engaging experience.

Constructed from stainless steel and aluminium, the clock exposes the mechanical process normally hidden inside conventional timepieces.

Design Inspired by a Throwaway Society

According to the article, the concept behind Clock Delay emerged from the observation that many products are purchased, used and discarded without any appreciation for how they work.

The designers sought to counter this tendency by creating an object that celebrates technology and mechanical ingenuity rather than concealing it.

By making the movement visible, Clock Delay encourages people to reconnect with the fascination of mechanisms and craftsmanship.

No Clock Hands Required

One of the most distinctive features of Clock Delay is the complete absence of traditional clock hands.

Instead, the interaction between the rotating gears becomes the display itself. The time is determined by observing where the hour, minute and second wheels meet.

This unconventional method gives the clock a sculptural presence while maintaining its practical function.

Design as Conversation

More than a tool for measuring time, Clock Delay was conceived as a conversation piece.

Its exposed structure, moving components and industrial appearance invite curiosity and encourage viewers to spend time understanding how the object works. The design rewards observation, making the passage of time visible in a way that conventional clocks rarely do.

101 Woonideeën – Reflections by Karin van der Zanden

Dutch Interior Magazine Highlights Reflections as Contemporary Design News

Published in 101 Woonideeën, August 2010

Dutch interior magazine 101 Woonideeën featured Reflections, the sculptural vase collection designed by Karin van der Zanden, in its design news section highlighting noteworthy contemporary products for the home.

Presented among a selection of furniture, lighting and accessories, Reflections was recognised for its striking geometric appearance and highly reflective surface. The publication emphasised the way the faceted forms interact with light, giving the vases a constantly changing visual character.

Reflections

Reflections is a collection of stainless steel vases that transforms surrounding light and space into part of the design itself.

Constructed from precisely folded metal surfaces, each vase consists of multiple geometric facets that capture and mirror their environment. The result is an object that appears different from every angle, creating an ever-changing play of reflections and highlights.

The collection balances sculptural presence with everyday functionality.

A Study in Light and Reflection

The name Reflections refers directly to the central idea behind the design.

Rather than decorating the surface, the polished stainless steel actively reflects its surroundings. Natural daylight, interior lighting, colours and movement all become part of the visual experience. This interaction ensures that no two moments—and no two interiors—look exactly the same.

The faceted geometry further enhances this effect by breaking reflections into multiple planes.

From Design Academy to International Recognition

As noted in the magazine, Karin van der Zanden developed the collection during her studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven.

The project attracted attention for its combination of architectural geometry and material experimentation. By using reflective stainless steel instead of more traditional vase materials, the design explores the relationship between object, light and environment in a distinctly contemporary way.

Sculptural Simplicity

Although functional as flower vases, Reflections also works as a standalone decorative object.

Its clean geometric form and mirror-like finish allow it to fit naturally within modern interiors while maintaining a strong visual identity. Whether displayed individually or as a group, the collection creates a subtle dialogue with the surrounding space.

Living Design – Clock Delay by Bloomming

Danish Design Magazine Highlights an Unconventional Way of Telling Time

Published in Living Design, Winter 2008/2009

Danish interior and design magazine Living Design featured Clock Delay, the experimental clock designed by Bas van Leeuwen for Dutch design studio Bloomming, in a special editorial exploring innovative contemporary clock designs.

Presented within a curated selection of unusual timepieces, Clock Delay stood out for its exposed mechanics and sculptural interpretation of time.

Clock Delay

Rather than hiding the mechanism behind a clock face, Clock Delay makes the movement itself the centrepiece.

The design consists of three rotating gears representing:

• Hours
• Minutes
• Seconds

As the gears rotate, the current time can be read where the three wheels intersect. Traditional clock hands become unnecessary, allowing the mechanics to become both the function and the visual expression of the object.

Constructed from stainless steel and aluminium, Clock Delay occupies the space between product design, engineering and kinetic sculpture.

Featured in “Clockwise”

The magazine’s editorial, titled “Clockwise”, explored the many ways contemporary designers reinterpret our perception of time.

Clock Delay was selected as one of the most distinctive examples because of its visible mechanical construction and unconventional reading method. While many modern clocks focus on simplification, Clock Delay reveals complexity and celebrates the beauty of movement.

The publication described the clock as consisting of three gears for hours, minutes and seconds that visually indicate time through their interaction.

Design Philosophy

Clock Delay was developed from the idea that modern products often conceal how they work.

By exposing the mechanism, the design encourages curiosity and appreciation for engineering. The clock transforms the normally invisible process of measuring time into something that can be observed and enjoyed.

Reading the time requires a moment of attention, making users more aware of the passage of time itself.

This approach reflects Bloomming’s broader design philosophy: creating objects that invite interaction, provoke thought and reveal their function rather than hiding it.

A Mechanical Sculpture

Beyond its practical purpose, Clock Delay functions as a moving sculpture. The continuously rotating gears create an ever-changing composition of lines, numbers and shadows.

The result is an object that becomes a focal point within an interior while simultaneously performing its role as a clock.

Published in Excellent Magazine, 2010

Dutch lifestyle and interior magazine Excellent featured Reflections, the sculptural vase collection designed by Karin van der Zanden for Bloomming, in its coverage of Dutch Design Week 2010.

Presented among emerging talents and established names from the Dutch design scene, Reflections was selected as an example of contemporary design that combines geometric precision with a strong visual presence. The magazine showcased the collection alongside furniture, glass objects and other noteworthy designs exhibited during the event.

Reflections

Reflections is a collection of faceted steel vases inspired by the interplay between geometry, light and reflection.

Each vase is constructed from folded stainless steel surfaces that create a constantly changing appearance. Depending on the viewing angle and surrounding light conditions, the polished facets reflect their environment in unexpected ways, transforming the object throughout the day.

The collection blurs the boundary between functional object and sculptural artwork.

Inspired by Geometry and Light

The design language of Reflections is rooted in geometric forms and architectural surfaces.

Sharp edges and angled planes create a dynamic composition that captures and fragments reflections, allowing the vases to interact with their surroundings. Even without flowers, the objects function as decorative pieces that introduce depth, contrast and visual movement into an interior.

A Distinctive Presence

Featured during Dutch Design Week, Reflections demonstrated Bloomming’s interest in combining industrial production techniques with sculptural aesthetics.

The reflective stainless steel surfaces create a striking contrast between precision and fluidity, making each vase appear slightly different as light conditions change. This quality gives the collection a timeless character that complements both contemporary and classic interiors.

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.
