OAO Works

OAO Works is a loose portfolio of objects, curiosities and ideas. It is structured as a platform to highlight underrepresented themes in Omer Arbel’s work.
In some cases, the works in the portfolio resist simple classifcation, whilst in other cases, they are by-products of other, more targeted investigations. In yet other cases, they are results of very particular relationships, narratives, and collaborations.

Omer Arbel Office is the creative hub of a constellation of companies – Bocci among them – structured to realize ideas of varying scale and across a wide spectrum of contexts and environments.

Omer Arbel

Based in Vancouver and Berlin, Omer Arbel cultivates a fluid position between the fields of architecture, sculpture, invention and design. Focal themes of his work include the intrinsic mechanical, physical, and chemical qualities of materials and the exploration of light as a medium.

The newly established OAO Works will take over a vacant storefront in Shoreditch to display and sell their 31.3 glassware sets to the public. Visitors will be able to choose from a variety of predetermined sets in various sizes and colours which will result in a constantly evolving presentation.

31.3 Polygon Glassware is a body of individual glass elements designed to be arranged into a multiplicity of compositions. The forms of 31.3 Polygon Glassware are derived from a mathematical query into geometric tiling, while the colouring is the result of ancient formulas from the Czech glassmaking tradition, some of which date back the 1600s.
