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.

Excellent – Reflections by Bloomming

Dutch Lifestyle Magazine Highlights Reflections During Dutch Design Week 2010

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.

Dutch Design Week 2010

The feature appeared within Excellent’s preview of Dutch Design Week, the Netherlands’ largest design event. The magazine highlighted the growing importance of the event as a platform where young designers, established studios and innovative brands present new ideas and products to an international audience.

Among the selected works, Reflections stood out for its minimalist form language and strong material expression.

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.

Being featured in IdN alongside other notable participants in Dutch Design Week 2007 gave Bloomming visibility in an international creative community well beyond the Netherlands, at a pivotal early stage in the studio’s development.

Grazia Casa – Clock Delay by Bloomming

Clock Delay Featured Among Contemporary Interpretations of Time

Published in Grazia Casa, Italy, 2009

Italian interiors and lifestyle magazine Grazia Casa featured Clock Delay, the experimental clock designed by Bas van Leeuwen for Bloomming, in a curated selection of innovative clock designs.

Presented alongside works by renowned contemporary designers, Clock Delay was highlighted for its ability to transform the familiar concept of a clock into a captivating mechanical object.

An Extraordinary Everyday Object

Under the heading “Eccezionale quotidiano” (“Extraordinary Everyday”), Grazia Casa described Clock Delay as:

“An experiment that captures the eye.”

The publication recognised the design for challenging traditional expectations of timekeeping and for turning a functional household object into a visual experience.

Clock Delay

Unlike conventional clocks, Clock Delay does not use hands or a traditional clock face.

Instead, the clock consists of three rotating wheels representing:

• Hours
• Minutes
• Seconds

Constructed from stainless steel and aluminium, Clock Delay combines engineering, movement and sculpture in a single object.

Design Philosophy

Clock Delay was created from a fascination with the beauty of mechanisms and the growing tendency of modern products to hide their inner workings.

Rather than disguising technology, the design celebrates it. The visible gears, moving elements and exposed construction encourage curiosity and invite viewers to engage with the object.

Reading the time becomes a small ritual rather than an instant glance.

The project reflects Bloomming’s early interest in creating products that combine conceptual thinking, interaction and craftsmanship.

Part of a Larger Discussion About Time

The Grazia Casa feature explored different contemporary approaches to representing time, from minimalist clocks to conceptual experiments.

Clock Delay stood out because it reveals the mechanics behind timekeeping rather than simplifying or concealing them. The design demonstrates that a clock can be both a functional object and a conversation piece.

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.

Beau Monde – Facet by Bloomming

Dutch Lifestyle Magazine Features Facet in a Rising Culinary Destination

Published in Beau Monde, January 2011

Dutch lifestyle magazine Beau Monde featured Facet, the modular room divider designed by Mireille Meijs and Bas van Leeuwen for Bloomming, in its culinary guide to the most promising restaurant destinations of 2011.

The publication highlighted Restaurant Le Défi in Sprang-Capelle as one of the Netherlands’ rising gastronomic stars and showcased Facet as an integral part of the restaurant’s interior. The sculptural divider appears in the dining room, where it subtly separates spaces while preserving openness and light.

Facet

Facet is a modular room divider composed of individually rotatable geometric elements.

Each module can be adjusted independently, allowing users to create unique patterns of transparency, light and privacy. The result is a dynamic architectural surface that continuously changes appearance depending on the viewing angle and the position of the individual facets.

Unlike traditional partitions, Facet creates separation without completely closing off a space, making it particularly suited to hospitality environments.

Creating Atmosphere Through Space

Restaurants rely on carefully balanced atmospheres. Guests often appreciate a sense of intimacy while still feeling connected to the surrounding environment.

Facet addresses this challenge by dividing spaces visually rather than physically. The semi-transparent structure filters views, softens sightlines and creates distinct zones within larger interiors while maintaining an open and welcoming character.

Design for Hospitality Interiors

The installation at Restaurant Le Défi demonstrates how Facet can contribute to a refined dining experience.

Its geometric pattern introduces visual interest while the adjustable modules allow the degree of openness to be tailored to the space. The divider functions simultaneously as an architectural element, a decorative feature and a practical tool for defining areas within the restaurant.
