Before working as a designer, Ben
worked as a sculptor. This is a selection of his
work from this period. As you can see, a lot of
pieces already were related to design. So perhaps
not such an unexpected switch after all.

Traditional
distilled Dutch Gin (Jenever) in a brand new packing.
On
the invitation of the European Ceramic Work Centre
in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, the Dutch
designers Jan Melis en Ben Oostrum (MNO) designed
a hip stone bottle for this age-old Dutch spirit.
According to the designers of MNO, memories of a country
stick mainly to the ordinary consumer goods, to regional
vegetation, spirits and food.
Typical Dutch products are our famous tulip-bulbs,
Gouda Cheese and the spirit this country takes a pride
in: Jenever. Since ages Dutch Gin is packed in a sober
brown stone bottle, a packing that wants to underline
the authentic quality of the Jenever.
MNO wished to preserve this traditional quality in
their surge for a design that would connect to the
contemporary Netherlands. In there new design they
therefore combine the age-old ceramic craftsmanship
with the possibilities of the hypermodern “rapid
prototyping” method. This mixture of modern
high tech en authentic craftsmanship resulted in a
Dutch Souvenir which reminds us of the present as
well as the past.
A package with content!

Lock
of Love in Delfshaven Rotterdam
|
Echte liefde roest niet, een romantisch
thema dat alle ruimte krijgt in het Valentijn
weekend van 13 tot 14 januari in Delfshaven.
Onlangs won kunstenaarscollectief BLISS een wedstrijd
die de Hongaarse weddingplanner
Ranata Rakolcai (bijgestaan met raad en daad
door BOO) samen met Deelgemeente Delfshaven uitschreef.
Het viel de weddingplanner op dat in Rotterdam
maar ook in de rest van Nederland niet één
bepaalde plek is waar je met je geliefde naartoe
kunt gaan om je liefde te bezegelen op de manier
zoals o.a. in Hongarije vaak wordt gedaan. In
het buitenland zijn er diverse hekken waar verliefde
mensen naar toe gaan als een soort liefdesbedevaartsoord.
Zij hangen een hangslotje op, waarin hun namen
staan gegraveerd. De sleutel gooien de geliefden
in het nabijgelegen water. Het bijgeloof zegt
dat de liefde duurt zolang het slotje aan het
hek hangt. Het werd dus hoog tijd voor een Nederlandse
variant op deze buitenlandse liefdestraditie.
Rotterdam heeft de eer om als eerste plaats in
Nederland zo'n romantische plek te presenteren.
Het ontwerp dat BLISS op basis van deze traditie
maakte is een handgesmede stoel in de vorm van
een hart. Dit Liefdes monument dient dus niet
alleen als hekwerk waaraan de slotjes bevestigd
kunnen worden maar is tevens een romantisch zitje
waarin het stel van elkaar en dit speciale moment
kan genieten.
BLISS maakt interactieve performances die vormgegeven
worden naar aanleiding van omgeving, publiek en
gelegenheid. De drie dames van BLISS creëren
een utopische parallelle wereld waarin mensen
worden uitgenodigd mee te doen. Tijdens het openingsweekend
van de ‘Lock of Love’ presenteert
BLISS op geheel eigen wijze het kunstwerk.
De Lock of Love wordt op 13 en 14 februari onthuld
aan de Havenstraat in Delfshaven. Op zondag 14
februari van 15:30 -18:00 uur is de officiële
opening van het kunstwerk ‘Lock of Love’.
