"Buuuuuun-dle!" The game, popular not only with children in Great Britain, becomes pure bliss. Pile up clothes and blankets, shout "buuuuuun-dle" and dive right into the soft make-shift cushions. This promise of happiness is inherent in the new sofa designed by EOOS. The soft upholstery looks like a large folded blanket, a design idea supposedly as simple as it is ingenious. The end result is a sofa which unites all the sensorial qualities of a well-designed piece of upholstered furniture. Softer, gentler, homelier. A pure bundle of joy.

“We love the strange, the paradox and the spontaneous.”
EOOS develops its talents as a team. The Austrian designers Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann and Harald Gründl actually recognised the special synergy of their talents during their studies at the College of Applied Art in Vienna where they all attended Paolo Piva's design master class. In 1995, they founded a studio together and since then have constantly developed their own special methodology.
They refer to their road to creativity as poetical analysis. The designers search for the sense and function of design through the culture of human rituals. And that's how they create new concepts in product and retail design for clients such as Bulthaup, Duravit, Zumtobel, Armani Cosmetics and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In their inspiring office in Vienna city centre, the three intransigent thinkers implement their ideas – for projects all over the world from Milan to Toronto, London to New York, Berlin to Herrenberg. Herrenberg is where the three started their career in 1997 with their fascination for the history of Walter Knoll. The spirit of the founders is more up-to-date today than ever before: designers of life's events.
To date, the team has been awarded more than 130 design prizes including the Compasso d’Oro. Special recognition: the MAK, the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna, mounted an individual exhibition on EOOS in 2015 which provided insight into the designers' work process and showcased their extensive and eclectic work.

Walter Knoll clearly professes to sustainable economic activity. Thinking ecologically, acting responsibly and sustainably – a philosophy they live and breathe in the company and always have. One important aspect is enduring design quality. Durability applies not only to the appearance but also to the material.
Minimalist and timeless design is sustainable design. Because the use of natural materials, the minimal use of resources and aesthetic durability are characteristic of our design and architecture. This is how durability becomes ecology – even at the early stage of the draft. With their permanent, tested quality, our products are quite genuinely companions for life – not just for years but for decades.
