The Netherlands is currently one of the world’s leaders
of great modern design, a center of innovation and experimentation
in architecture, industrial design, graphic design and not least
product design.
It's
all about Dutch Design
the OOTS! products distinguish themselves from the crowd with
refreshing, modern design combined with common sense functionality.
OOTS!’ design savvy first showed with the bbibs (bibs with
sleeves), melamine dish sets, and the Lunchbox with containers.
Recently OOTS! has started to distribute other designer's products
from the Netherlands that we feel share that typical, modern yet
practical, design sense.
OOTS! was started in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2004 by Arian Roefs
(Managing Director) and Godfried Konings (Creative Director),
both originally from The Netherlands.
The name OOTS! is a tribute to Sjaan, Arian’s mom (right).
Anytime something surprises her, she utters this deadpan expression,
and then continues with the business at hand. No-nonsense at all
times. It was with Sjaan that OOTS!’ first product, the
bbib, originated. Sjaan has been making clothes her whole life,
and for her grandchildren she always crafted baby bibs with sleeves,
made from terrycloth towels.
