Collection: EOOS

Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann and Harald Gründl got to know one another during their time as students at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. During their time there, they completed a master class in design with Paolo Piva. In 1995, the trio got together to establish the EOOS studio, choosing a name from Ovid's “Metamorphoses”. Every time these three designers create items of furniture or products, they question the purpose and the function. They refer to their approach as poetic analysis, and see their works as a cultural service to society. Their collaboration with Duravit has given rise to products such as the multiple-award-winning OpenSpace shower enclosure and the stone-like Stonetto shower tray, as well as a series of familiar wellness products, including the Paiova two-person bathtub, the Nahho floatation bathtub, the Inipi sauna and the Sundeck pool. EOOS has won more than 60 international awards for its creations. These include the German Design Prize, the Red Dot Design Award and the prestigious Italian design prize Compasso d’Oro.
