Studio Oooms is a company that tends to make you smile. Their aim is to create and produce salable products with a distinct feel of witticism. Using nature’s imperfection as inspiration, Studio Oooms’ daring designs are characterized by an apparent contradiction within. By playing to taboos and expectations in the mind of the beholder, their products trigger a conflict of perceptions that make you think twice.

Studio Oooms is formed by Guido Ooms and Karin van Lieshout. Both work as designers as well as inventors tinkering away, not minding to get their hands dirty. This attitude enables them to fine-tune their products to a satisfying perfection. As a team, they fuel one another’s creativity with wit, humor and a positive skepticism towards what is generally considered to be “normal”.
