Out Of Office is constantly looking for ways to be connected by teaming up with Cultural, industrial, educational and research partners. In 2010, a group of twenty Honors students enrolled in a leadership course in the IIS Honours Program of the Free University of Amsterdam(VU) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA), with the vague description ‘The Learning Lab’.
The students had very diverse backgrounds, from the Singaporean army to anthropology and physics, they applied to explore themselves and their world. Out Of Office teamed up with the designer of this course Thieu Besselink, to provide the studens bucket-load of creative chaos and let the energy flow and inspiration starts.
This documentary – that was directed by Victor van Doorn and Jochem Smit shows the student’s progression from talented scholars, to driven social entrepreneurs and ultimately, directors of their own education.

Brandstore Zoé et Moi, Shanghai
 In co-creation with I Love Architecture Out Of Office created an unique Retail Experience for Zoé et Moi in Shanghai. This exclusive retail experience is tapping into the Dream World of the female consumer by using the Coulisse Technique. The coulisse technique suggests a new scene, a new world of Zoé et Moi and Zoé et Moi is about supporting women to live their own uniquely designed dreamlife. One theme, different options. The layout of different shops can be flexible depending on the real size of the retail space and the proportions of the space. The store for Zoé et Moi is planned to be built Spring 2012.
