Teacher CftG
Studio Barbara Vos teaches research & design at Class for the Gifted (CftG). This is a teaching program for gifted 7th and 8th graders from dozens of primary schools in The Hague and the surrounding area. This program concerns pupils who are often bored for a large part of the week in primary education, even in a possible plus class. They flourish if they can participate in the “Class for the Gifted” one morning or afternoon a week: three hours of lessons in mathematics, robotics and research & design. There is a great need for such a program. On average we host 52 different schools in The Hague and the surrounding area, divided into ten classes on three different days (mornings and afternoons).
NEOM
NEOM Saudi Arabia bought a panel with tex-tiles of Studio Barbara Vos to include this in their material library for architects.
What is NEOM? Merging digital end-to-end design with sustainable construction in a fourth industrial revolution to ensure NEOM is the standard by which the industry measures itself. A retooled economic model built on advanced technology, best-in-class efficiency, worker welfare and competency – in order to deliver livability and capital projects standards never before witnessed. Not just in NEOM, but in the global market beyond. This is a game-changing circular economy with digital prototyping, built in parallel with a fundamentally progressive society – at a scale and speed previously not thought possible. In short, a new ecosystem to help build smarter, more ethical and highly-profitable industries. Join our transformational movement, be the change.
Gemeente Den Haag
Studio Barbara Vos designed a series of meeting rooms in the City Hall of The Hague. One of these rooms got a lively wall full of stripes in a mix of bright and neon colors. The stripes were applied by injection syringes, with a group of employees of the City Hall, so it became their own collective piece of art. Matching chairs were embroidered, with colorful stripes too. The paint was searching and meandering its own way down towards the floor, sometimes touching another color and mixing, sometimes alone straightforward.
The City Hall is a beautiful white structure. The employees working inside were missing a personal touch, a bit of color, a connection with the building. Their wishes were combined in a total design concept called ‘the experimental garden’. These experimental designs also helped the employees to develop another working ethos. Some rooms were emptied, no chairs or tables anymore, but blocks to sit or lean on. This resulted into a more dynamic work sphere, which evolved into creating more dynamic policy plans. Other designers participating in ‘the experimental garden’ are Valentijn Hutte and Denis Oudendijk of Refunc.
Candy Converters
In assignment of the Candy Converters Studio Barbara Vos designed the total concept for this brand; logo’s, branding, products, product names, product packaging, social media surroundings and posts, website, art direction for photoshoots, etc.
Candy Converters sells edible design, made of wafer (edible) paper. Not only the material but also a sense of humor are the basic ingredients for colorful products with a twist.
Artists buy factory
A group of artists in The Hague buy an old Factory of the local government.
