For
PWS in Rotterdam we've decorated, together
with Studio Magnolia, two model apartments
at the Schiecentrale in Rotterdam. We
managed to realize this project in a
tremendously short period of time thanks
to the willingness and enthusiasm of
many people from many companies.
For this project we worked together
with:
Lensvelt
Illum / Dark
Texdecor / Casadeco / Caselio / Rothmeijer
Evident / Forbo
United Elektro
Betonlook
Innvire
Linkerlisse
Robin Hood Produkties

The
temporary extension of primary school
"het Landje" in Rotterdam
has been set up in an old office building.
With the tree as a symbol of “het
Landje” I tried to make it look
like a school again. The foil was cut
and installed by Deege.

And
so a year has passed since my last newsletter.
It has been so very busy this year that
I didn’t find time for extras
like newsletters. But here it is, in
the last month of the year, a short
summery of what I’ve been up to.
It has not just been a busy year but
it has also been a great year. BOO experienced
a tremendous growth and will be expanding.
In
my December newsletter I used to sum
up everybody who has been of help that
year, but I’m afraid the list
will be too long so I just want to thank
everybody who contributed to BOO's success
this year in any way and I hope we will
continue working together in 2009 and
beyond.
Thanks!

| Tokyo |
This
year I went to Tokyo again.
With the help and support of the EVD,
the Chamber of Commerce, The Royal
Dutch embassy and Jetro, it was a
great success. Next to the people
working in these institutes I received
tremendous help from my fellow members
of the Rotterdam Japan Club and also
the Japanese lessons I have been taking
from Maria van den Broek of Tonbo,
were of great help. I was introduced
at a lot of interesting companies
and met very interesting and nice
people. I trust these contacts will
lead to assignments and collaborations
in the near future.
But there was more. I also met a lot
of people on a more personal level
in Tokyo. It was very nice to meet
some of my Asoboo friends, was guided
through Kamakura by Hiromi Tanaka
and I always felt very welcome in
my favourite Izakaya “Kin-chan”
in Asakusa, where this picture was
taken. Be sure to visit Kin-chan when
you go to Tokyo and say hi to Eryca
and her family and friends for me.

Introducing
Susan Vlemminx:
Hi,
I am Susan Vlemminx. From the
start of the new year I will
be part of the BOO team. I am
22 years old and just graduated
from the Royal Academy of Art
in The Hague. At the moment
I follow a master programme
at the Piet Zwart Institute
in Rotterdam.
I am very excited with this
job and I see a lot of opportunities
and challenges. Not only at
a personal level but also as
part of a creative team. Especially
with a young and dynamic company
like Boo.
