Try to Walk in Her Shoes

Try to Walk in Her Shoes
Most people agree that, some designers are way apart from others, with their way of thinking, creativity and their products through out the international design arena. One of these designers is Marloes ten Bh�mer.

Few months ago, I met this young Dutch designer and asked her for this interview, glad that she accepted sincerely.

I talked to her before her new exhibition which will be held during 18th - 23rd October 2005.

Marloes ten Bh�mer, is a 26 years old product designer who is focussing on bags, products and her shoe label HUNT.

She has spent her undergraduate years at the Higher School of Arts Arnhem, 3D Design Course (BA - 1998 - 2001) alongside experimental shoe designer Fredie Stevens, as well as Viktor & Rolf.

In 1999 she was awarded "Honourable mention" for a schoolbag which she designed for the HEMA-design competition.

She studied at the Royal College of Art in London, Design Products Course during 2001 - 2003 and received a MA degree under the tutelage of renowned architect Ron Arad.
