In the early 2010s, EOOS closed a successful chapter of shop design for customers such as Adidas and Armani to instead focus on the global sanitation crisis affecting three billion people.
The studio’s two main areas of work, internationally successful furniture design and social design geared towards social impact, might appear contradictory at first glance. However, on closer inspection, what emerges are a common attitude, an equal demand for quality, and a field of tension, traced here using numerous examples.
