Few months ago, designer Tim Oelker and materials consultant Aart van Bezooyen started a new service for manufacturers, agencies and designers. Since then Material Short Stories enjoys a great response from both clients and press.

“The Tooth”, “Soft Alex”, “The Ring of Fire”, “Spaghetti Western”, “Giacometti”, “Golden Pez” and more! Some 300 participants from all over the world created beautiful sculptures made of chewing gum at the Materials Utopia exhibition.
Aart van Bezooyen sends out a big thank you to all participants for their hands on creativity during a four-day workshop at this year’s Berlin International Design Festival (from 9-13 June) and to Panatom Gallery for making this exhibition possible, both offline and online!

Invitation BNO Noord (Don’t forget your senses)
Materials Lecture
The Association of Dutch Designers (BNO) invites Material Stories to lecture on the role and importance of materials in product experience.
“Product experience is getting more important than ever. Think of buying new clothes – quality is something you can feel in a second! A big part of this product experience is defined by the materials of which these products are made. The selection of materials is therefore very important for the (desired) product experience.”
During an inspiring night, Aart van Bezooyen will lecture and demonstrate a set of sensory materials and objects. Seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting – feel very welcome to this evening for all your senses!
- Date: Wednesday, 27. May 2010
