In a world filled with challenges where change is constant, creativity emerges as our guiding light, pointing to paths of innovation and adaptation. At Ommo Design, we believe creativity isn’t just a rare gift for a few. In fact, it’s a state of mind, a lifestyle that we embrace wholeheartedly.
To explore this idea further, let’s take a journey with Ommo Design, that holds Life Drawing Holiday’s creative workshops.
Ommo means "Home"
Ommo, which in Sardinian means “home”, symbolises comfort, belonging and – above all – a place of freedom to express oneself. Ommo isn’t just a roof over your head, it actually means having that special spot where you can just be you, finding that safe space where your imagination can go on a joyride. We firmly believe that creativity lies dormant within all of us in this refuge, eager to be set free. However, it’s not about perfection, but about embracing curiosity and playfulness, abandoning the fear of making mistakes and judging.
Let's spread creativity for a better world!
Set in Sardinia’s inspiring landscapes, our creative workshops offer transformative experiences. They offer much more than simple artistic activities; they are transformative journeys. Guided by the principles of participatory design, we empower individuals to become architects of their own lives. From the delicate strokes of a pencil to decisive actions in our daily routines, everybody holds the power to create our unique narratives.
We choose natural settings for our workshops because they offer more than visual beauty. From the velvety touch of moss-covered stones to the earthy scent of fallen leaves, nature envelops us. It provides a total sensory experience like no other place. By engaging all five senses in our observation, we open the door to a world of creativity and beauty waiting to be discovered.
Ommo Design workshops: creativity through observing and reinterpreting nature
Firstly, by observing nature with an analytical eye, we begin to reveal its secrets. We notice intricate patterns, such as the veins of a leaf, the smooth contours of a river-eroded pebble, or the rhythmic swaying of branches in the wind. Then each element reveals the hidden rules and principles that govern the world.
As we dive deeper into our observations, the essence of nature’s beauty is distilled. Let’s discover the underlying principles of balance, symmetry and harmony that guide its design. Through this process of abstraction, we gain insight into the timeless truths that govern all creative endeavors.
Armed with this newfound understanding, we embark on the journey of reinterpretation. Taking inspiration from the shapes, textures and colors of nature, infusing them with our unique perspective. Whether designing a building, making a piece of furniture or solving a complex problem, nature provides a wealth of inspiration and guidance.
In the world of design, this process of observation, abstraction and reinterpretation is at the heart of innovation. By studying nature’s designs and applying its principles to our creations, we unlock new possibilities and find solutions to even the most daunting challenges.
During Ommo’s creative workshops we therefore open our eyes, ears, nose and fingertips to the wonders of nature. Observing, abstracting and reinterpreting the world around us reminds us we can unlock unlimited potential to respond to today’s challenges. It’s a way to shape a better, more beautiful future.
Ommo is also friendship and collaboration
Founded in 2021 by architects Francesca Frongia and Giulia Biancu, Ommo Design is a tribute to the profound impact of friendship, collaboration and a shared vision. With our complementary personalities and skills, we have cultivated fertile ground where innovation flourishes and creativity knows no limits.
At the heart of Ommo Design‘s values is collaboration. We reject the rigid hierarchies of traditional design processes, where designers dictate and clients conform. Instead, we invite our clients into a collaborative dance of creativity, fostering a relationship built on trust and mutual respect. Together we create bespoke masterpieces that reflect personal desires and celebrate the artistry of craftsmanship.
Ultimately, by embracing our creativity and continually exploring new ideas, we can enrich our lives and make a positive impact on the world around us.
As we embark on this journey with Ommo Design, we tap into the intrinsic creativity that resides within each of us. We redefine the boundaries of design, art and life itself. In fact, in the intricate tapestry of our existence, every brushstroke, every decision, and every spark of inspiration adds to the richness of our collective human experience.
