Profile:
I am 54, born on 14 November in Amsterdam, living in Amstelveen, married to Jennifer and we have a son and a daughter
I am a mechanical engineer and working now over 30 years as mechanical engineer for Ballast Nedam.
For my work I take care of work methods and modifications concerning construction equipment for overseas jobs, for which I traveled abroad extensively.
Since 1974 I have designed furniture, clocks and accessories as a hobby.
I use CAD software for my job and also for my designs, which usual start with pencil on a piece of checkered paper.
In 2001, I had models of clocks, candle stands and other items cut out of stainless steel plate by laser.
I showed some of these clocks to Alain in 2003, and he chose eight designs for Nextime, from which two are still in the collection.
Lately I have been too busy with my job to arrange models, but hope to find some time soon to materialize my best ideas and eventual make designing my full time occupation.

Catherine Nicolas Profile:
She built her creative universe starting with an interior architecture and design course at the BOULLE School in Paris, before finding her favourite world: that of the child, where she has been looking for everywhere, since 1989: from textile design to industrial design, from toys to illustrations.
She dreams and draws sweet, bizarre and colourful characters, full of humour, which she turns into posters, postcards, games in printed media, school-related publications or manual activities, clothing and decoration. She designed toys while working for DJECO, creating the world of the ZAMILOO; a collection of books about this little world will be published in September 2008, and a project for a TV series is being developed by L'ENVOL - the culmination of all her aspirations.
The humorous little-girl characters got NeXTIME excited; they are already running about on silkscreened pictures and postcards at CARTES D'ART and on the back of a resin cow. In 2008, they will appear on bathroom accessories, household linens and home decoration, and a project is under way for children's publishing.
Like her characters, she loves travelling and running about discovering the world.

Debora Jedwab Profile:
II am a British designer who gained a first class degree in 3-Dimensional Design before starting my own business, Jedwab Design, in 1995, my first design being immediately accepted as a limited edition Milk Glass for Ritzenhoff in Germany. This was a fantastic start to my career and since then, I have gone from strength to strength, designing a large number of items for Ritzenhoff and many other famous companies. Before that, I worked as a designer with the BBC, as a model-maker for Madame Tussaud's Design Group and as a freelance designer on magazines.
Clients include Rosenthal, Villeroy and Boch, Acme Studio, Dunoon, Koziol, The Box and, of course, Nextime!
My skills are fairly unique in that I am very diverse in my abilities and am not afraid to push the boundaries and try new ideas. I can design equally well in 3D as in 2D surface pattern, and often surprise my clients with the freshness of my approach and ideas. I pay great attention to detail and will work for hours to get things just right.
I have just completed a greeting card collection for the British card company Beaumonde, (launching in January 2008) based on Russian motifs and the surface patterns from this collection are also being launched on 3D objects with Dunoon mugs and Acme Studio (a pen and business card case), and, in time, will be developed for other products.
In addition to my many design activities, I have been lecturing since 1999 in all aspects of Product Design at Middlesex University, London's largest university. I was made a Senior Associate Lecturer and received tenure in 2003 in recognition of my work with industry as a practicing designer outside the University. I am working diversely across the Art and Design faculty with Fashion Product Styling Accessories as well as within my own department of Product Design. Many of our projects are live projects with actual clients, so the industry link is maintained and the students appreciate the opportunities this brings whilst they are still studying.
My style is always dynamic and the curvature and tension of the lines have to be precise. The final look is part of my love affair with retro with a modern twist and also patterns that draw on historical cultures updated for today's market. My range includes everything from cartoons to intricate patterns and giftware ranges of white ceramics. Vive la difference!
My work with Nextime started in 2001 with the Stripey range in domed glass, which came in 5 colourways and 2 shapes and sold very well for 6 years. In 2005, Nextime introduced my Neo mirror and opal range, partly extending the Stripey range to mirror and opal in addition to other patterns.
In 2007 Nextime introduced my Fickle collection. For this collection, the inspiration came from taking details from Baroque architecture. I then converted close ups of a tiny detail to a dynamic pattern that is ghosted behind the main pattern. Although it looks abstract, it is obviously a stylish and modern take on the Baroque period, and its origin is no longer so important. This kind of lateral thinking during the design process is the most interesting part of being a designer for me. I love the way designers work in Italy, conceptual thinking being the most important thing - how would we have got Memphis without such a rigorous approach?
Loves: precision, dynamism, originality, diversity, retro, humor, challenges, fresh approaches, concepts, clients who thrive on discussion and joint decisions and are not afraid to push the boundaries.
Hates: designs that all look the same, graphics placed on 3D items that don't work all the way the round, artwork that doesn't look alive, clients that don't communicate or consult and just present a fait accompli.
Eva Van Emde Boas Profile:
Born and raised in Amsterdam,The Netherlands, Eva van Emde Boas studied at the 'Grafisch Lyceum Amsterdam' and graduated in Esthetics & Techniques.
She began her design career working for brands like Nintendo, Heineken and Mars Snackfood & Petcare. After working for both packaging and advertising agencies, she decided to start her own business thinkfish in order to explore other design areas like illustration.
This was around the same time when Eva started her coöperation with NeXtime.
She always tries to make her clock fun to look at: even if you already know the time, it should be a pleasure to look at your clock: like a painting or other piece of art that you would put on your wall. Eva likes the use of bright colours and different materials like foam and glass. She is always searching for a fun way to show time.

Mark Hughes Profile:
Iconic figures from the world of film and music provided the inspiration
for the work of Mark Hughes.
The impact of each of his paintings is emotional as much as visual, evoking responses triggered by nostalgia, colour and technical perfection.
Hughes first explored this style of painting in 1997 when receiving regular commissions from private clients.
As an artist, he took his first steps into the public eye by showing his work on London's Bayswater Road each Sunday.
He was a regular exhibitor and continued to show his work for nearly 15 months before the attention and commissions from galleries took him into the next phase.
The momentum which has continued to gather since this time has propelled Hughes into the limelight as one of the hottest Artists working today.
Hughes has sold to a number of celebrities who have fallen in love with the seamless execution of his work and his paintings now hang in some of London's finest homes and have graced the pages of Vogue, Tatler and GQ.
The humble days of showing work on London's Bayswater Road now seem a long way away from the international recognition Hughes now enjoys.
Hughes now lives and works out of a converted water mill in the Derbyshire countryside, the tranquil setting providing a compelling contrast to the dynamic pieces of art that he is currently creating.
Hughes has always been keen to produce one-off pieces alongside a range of works that he will reproduce in limited numbers and his work continues to generate demand as a highly collectable addition to the most stylish of homes and prestigious establishments internationally.
The effortless move between colours has been the strength of this truly exceptional artist and his recent move from monochrome into multi tonal layers is producing what is undoubtedly some of his strongest and most exciting work.

Mark Kooij Profile:
Yet during his studies Visual Media Technology and Graphic design at the Art Academy Utrecht, The Netherlands, he was asked to co-start the design-unit at television channel RTL Veronique. (This television channel eventually changed her name into RTL4 and RTL5). During the following period of about 5 years, he and his two colleagues were responsible for the look and feel of RTL-Veronique, RTL 4/5. For this channel and many of their programs he created logo's, stationcalls, leaders, bumpers, coming-ups, studio-sets, etc. Early nineties the Internet introduced itself into his life and this made him going to think about creating commercial opportunities for brands via this new medium.
From '95 until '98 he turned this into a daily job at advertising agency FHV/BBDO. At this same agency he took part in creating many types of advertisement on different kinds of media for lots of brands like MTV, Pepsi, Albert Heijn, and Grolsch. His next step was freelancing for angencies like: DDB, DDB-result, Publicis, More, Doorn & Roos, TBWA, Saatchi & Saatchi and Y&R. inbetween he was shortly engaged with interactive agency Change the Script as Creative Director.
The year 2000 brought him someone who was interested in him as inventor. Inventing was something he did for as long as he remembered but he never thought of taking it as serious business. Since then 3 of his brainwaves saw the commercial lights.
His skills as (product) designer, inventor and, most of all: nice guy, lead him early 2006 into the arms of Alain Frie, CEO of NeXtime with whom he is overall creative responsible.
Besides that he is still developing some of his inventions into a -hopefully- success.

Paolo Renna Profile:
Paolo Renna designs from a strong inner passion: respect and love for nature and the beauty of life. He believes that real beauty comes from the inside and that people show their true selves through what they wear.
For each person is unique and has a desire for love, friendship and harmony. That is Paolo Renna's basic principle for designing timeless style elements that each represent a part of a personality.

Paul Schudel Profile:
The design process often begins with choosing a concept or a combination of concepts such as; light, transparent, clear, immaterial, introvert, extrovert, closed, open, levitating, seamless...
I make these choices depending on the type of product, the situation and my own mood. These concepts generate specific evaluation criteria that make the design process workable and enable me to evaluate the 'form ideas'.
I make these choices depending on the type of product, the situation and my own mood. These concepts generate specific evaluation criteria that make the design process workable and enable me to evaluate the 'form ideas'.
I also use more general criteria that every design must meet. The image must be new and imaginative, with a minimum of resources, but should also be functional and without compromise.
Eventually, if everything is just right, the end product is truly beautiful. My NeXtime clocks are a good example.

Some my designs which have enjoyed large success in the U.S. and should soon be available worldwide.
The anatomically correct Man Lamp
My original concept was simply fleshing out the the metaphor of a man having a bright idea (the light bulb aglow) as a mans head but when it came time to locate his switch my head lit up .
The Woman Lamp with 2 dimmers soon appeared on the scene .

The NOW clock . Inspired by the concept of "being in the now" i replaced each hour with the word NOW . This little existential reminder seems to engage most who see it .
The Spring Clocks are based around the challenge of taking a pendulums movement to new a new dimension. Rather than a ridged stick a helical spring creates a dancing wave motion.
The Bold Stripes Clock - An exercise in constantly changing negative space .
The Tower Clocks - You can't be too thin or too rich.
