About OOOMS

OOOMS is located in Geldrop, a small town in the Netherlands. Guido and Karin are two designers that have completely different personalities; therefore as a team they complement each other like yin and yang. Guido loves to explore and create new things. He is interested in products that lost their function, as where he sees new possibilities for these leftovers. Karin loves to structure, nit-pick and plan ahead. This is evident in her passion for cooking and in the work she does for OOOMS.
