Bloomming featured in Villas magazine
The influence of Dutch design extends far beyond the Netherlands. In issue 64 of Villas, the French architecture and interior design magazine dedicated a feature to contemporary Dutch designers and innovative furniture concepts. Among the selected projects: Bloomming and the work of founders Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs.
Dutch design through an international lens
The editorial explores a new generation of Dutch designers who combine functionality, experimentation, and a strong visual identity. Rather than focusing solely on form, the featured designers are presented as thinkers and makers who respond to the changing way we live, work, and experience our surroundings.
Within this context, Bloomming was included as part of a curated selection showcasing the diversity and creativity of Dutch design.
A feature for Bloomming
In the design overview, Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs appear alongside other emerging Dutch designers whose work attracted international attention. The publication highlights Bloomming’s distinctive approach to geometry, modularity, and spatial design — themes that continue to define the brand today.
The feature also includes the Grip table leg system, an early Bloomming design. Grip was conceived as a flexible stainless-steel table base that can be combined with a wide variety of tabletop materials and dimensions. By separating the tabletop from its supporting structure, the design offers freedom for customization while maintaining a refined architectural appearance.
Recognition beyond borders
For a young design studio, being featured in an international publication such as Villas represented an important milestone. It demonstrated how Dutch design was gaining recognition abroad and how Bloomming’s work resonated with an audience interested in innovation, craftsmanship, and contemporary interiors.
Today, many of the same principles visible in these early projects remain at the heart of Bloomming’s collection: modular thinking, architectural form, and products that transform the way spaces are experienced.
