ORYZHOM publishing

ORYZHOM publishing is born in 2021.

Surprised to find very little information on the architect Hendrik Jacob Dammerman Jr. (1873-1922), Yann Martineau started his own research in 2020 to find clues left by the architect in the streets of the Statenkwartier and in the various accessible archives. His research started at home which was built by the late architect in 1905 and which currently also houses ORYZHOM. Fascinated by the sum of the elements found, Yann founded ORYZHOM publishing in 2021 to contribute to historical knowledge, to the history of architecture and to the memory of architects and their forgotten collaborators. He published in 2022 the results of his research on Dammerman on the occasion of the centenary of the architect's death.

Following on from his work on Dammerman, Yann Martineau continued his investigations into the architects of the Statenkwartier and focused in particular on the figure of Hendrik van Wort (1860-1923), architect and director of several construction companies in Scheveningen and The Hague, director in Rotterdam of the C.H. Eckhart furniture factory and president of the Dutch Furniture Manufacturers' Association. This research led to the preparation of several books:

a biography of Hendrik van Wort with the complete catalog of his works designed and built as an entrepreneur and architect,
a book on the history of the Rotterdam furniture factory C.H. Eckhart at the time of the Hendrik de Keyser steam factory (1877-1935),
a series of inventories on the achievements of the C.H. Eckhart furniture factory for exceptional locations such as the royal palaces of Noordeinde, Soestdijk and Het Loo, museums and government buildings.

The first inventories deal with C.H. Eckhart's contributions for the Archives of the Royal House in The Hague (March 2024), the Teylers Museum in Haarlem (October 2024) and Soestdijk Palace in Baarn (September 2025).

Each book is an opportunity to (re)discover the building and its history, to understand the original layout and to place the objects in their historical context.
