rob peetoom mahler

tthis rob peetoom hair salon is situated in the george gershwinlaan in the zuidas financial district in amsterdam. we wanted to preserve the industrial look of the building and keep the space as open as possible. by placing walls with circular cut-outs we transferred the space into different zones for different functions without affecting the industrial look and feel. strategically placed round mirrors compliment the space and make architecture and design come together. the seats in the lounge area are from the bruut collection and are upholstered with black velvet.

shogun

it used to be known as one of the most exclusive properties and villas in the world in a mesmerizing location on the island mustique. now it is time for a massive make-over. with respect for the landscape and surroundings and the existing identity, we are designing a whole new exclusive contemporary look.

we can’t wait to share the final results.
 
project under construction

undyed

the new subtle chic carpet collection is made from natural materials without chemical treatments or colouring. the hand-spun wool from the black, grey and brown highland sheep in nepal is mixed with wild silk and nettle. the different mixtures create a delicate colour palette and show the true materials. the refined collection is tailor-made with a flat knotted weaving technique.
 

rob peetoom eindhoven

in the ‘lichttoren’, an iconic building in eindhoven, we approached the whole interior as an industrial loft. we worked with great materials: carrara flooring marble, wood panelling and a very clean layout of furniture produced in collaboration with bruut.

ruud van oosterhout design

his unmistakable passion for interior design, a preference for clean lines, light, the finest natural materials and collaborations with the very best craftsmen, come together in his own collections of furniture, ceramics and crystal and in a wide range of interior designs for both private and commercial clients, ranging from metropolitan lofts to resorts in the caribbean.

collections

ruud van oosterhout creates a collection of furniture made from the best materials: hand-knotted rugs of wool, mohair and silk, and objects such as mouth-blown crystal vases in subtle pastel colours, and tableware in refined porcelain.
 

furniture

ruud van oosterhout launched his own furniture collection in 2004, entitled bruut. in this collection the designer strives to create an honest product with an autonomous feel; a combination of the finest materials, specially designed finishes, and superior craftsmanship. With a clear eye for details, sober lines and balanced shapes, his collection includes the latest series of sofas and poufs, and a series of seats as well as tables in solid woods.
 

crystal

under the name ruud van oosterhout crystal, the designer produces in collaboration with master glassblowers, exclusive crystal objects in limited editions. the “silence” series, for example, is inspired by the “sleeping muse” of brancusi. the voluminous shape of the vase and the tranquil appearance evoke the association with a resting head on a pillow. the bowl offers the counter-shape: the hand palm on which the head rests. the objects in pale powder tones attract attention despite their pure, sober shape.
 

rugs

ruud van oosterhout designs a series of special carpets in a pure way. he calls it appropriate: ‘understated chic’. “as a designer i’m fascinated by the beauty of pure materials such as a blend of mohair and wild silk – without any additives. the technique of the hand spun fibres combined with the traditional crafts and knotting skills of the carpet weavers in nepal, are for me the purest way of working”, says the designer.
 

Widow cut

Royal Leerdam Crystal 2010
 

crystal series inspired by master glassblower Andries Copier
 

Ruud van Oosterhout crystal series ‘Widows’, evokes a sense of serenity and understated clarity. ‘Widows’ is a proud collection of classical shapes that combines historical perspectives with contemporary, gracious restraint.
 

“Through my ‘Widows’ collection, I sought to establish the optimal relationship between the material and the master glassblower”, explains Ruud van Oosterhout. “The close working relationship between the master glassblower and the designer is essential in the design process and for the design itself. That is why my creations are almost completely bereft of colour. I wanted to accentuate the clarity of the Crystal collection. Furthermore, the use of colour would have diverted attention away from the shape and form. I eventually opted for off-white, like the early morning mist that envelops the land. A misty cloud that blends and immerses itself beautifully into the material.”
