Jaan
Desigher: EOOS, 2014
The lightness of being. The striking thing about the Jaan bed is its charmingly elegant allure. The designers made the upholstered bed float: generous lounging spaces on a delicate framework – seemingly weightless, Jaan shapes the room. Supremely soft and coolly casual. Poetry in the form of clean lines. Supple leather or natural fabrics form the headboard and upholstered framework. Additional comfort is provided by the matt shimmering servers and the board in black glass or striking saddle leather. A wonderful place for all those essentials – your favourite book, your watch, a reading lamp. As obvious as it is special.

Gernot
Bohmann was born in 1968 in Krieglach/Styria, Harald Gründl in 1967 in Vienna
and Martin Bergmann in 1963 in Lienz/East Tyrol. They studied industrial design together at the University of Applied Arts
Vienna and then founded EOOS in 1995. The studios name is inspired from
Ovid´s Metamorphosis, the name of one of the four chariot horses of the
sun god Helios. EOOS developed “Poetical Analysis” as a research tool that the
designers use to investigate rituals, myths and intuitive imagery and
employ as the departure point for their designs. For EOOS, design is a
poetical discipline, which oscillates between the realm of the archaic and
high-tech. EOOS works with the 360degree concept, trying to analyze every
object from every possible angle with the poetry always positioned at the
center. Today EOOS operates in the fields of furniture, product and social
design for clients such as Armani, Adidas, Alessi, Bene, Bite Beauty, the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bulthaup, Caritas, Carl Hansen &
Søn, Dedon, Duravit, Fürstenberg, Geiger, Herman Miller, Hussl, Keilhauer,
Lamy, Nuki, Poltrona Frau, Walter Knoll and Zumtobel. In 2016 EOOS
represented Austria at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice
with their project social furniture. The MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied
Arts / Contemporary Art – celebrated the work of EOOS with the first major
solo exhibition in 2015. In this context the monograph „by: EOOS“
(Birkhäuser/Basel) was released. . In 2007, the EOOS-founders
were nominated by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) and the
readers of the daily newspaper „Die Presse“ to „Austrians of the Year”. To
date EOOS has received over 160 international design awards among them the
Italian design prize “Compasso’Oro” for the Auditorium seating system
“Kube”, produced by Poltrona Frau, the “Design Award of the federal
Republic of Germany” in gold, 35 Red Dot awards, 26 IF awards, 11 Good Design
awards and several Wallpaper, Elle Deco and AZ awards. For the redesign of a
toilet EOOS has received a „Special Recognition for Outstanding Design“
from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. |
