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.

Low-Res

stone bottle

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

lock of love

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’. Kom (met je geliefde) langs! Voor meer informatie kun je kijken op www.awordlofbliss.com.
