Designer: Bertjan Pot

Designer’s Profile: Born 1975 in Nieuwleusen, the Netherlands (a small town in the east of the country). Now, he lives in Rotterdam where he works on various projects, Sometime he initiates a project himself because he likes it so much that it just has to be made. Sometimes he is commissioned to do a project because other people like his work and think he is the one to do the job. His main fascination is material and production processes Everything is made out of material and materializing is an inevitable but often forgotten part of the design process.

In design he likes a flirt with computer esthetics and industrial production methods, but without using a computer (at least not as a design tool) and sometimes also without the industrial production method. Almost all designs come from experiments in materials, old and new. The way a product feels is just as important as the way it looks. Only recently he was reflecting on his work and found out that a lot of projects could be described as structural and non structural skins.

The Non structural skins can be found in the Seamless Chair, or a project like The Anarchistic Chess and the Slim-Table for Arco, where objects are covered in an extra layer, but where the extra skin is not structural but gives the piece its own specific identity, meaning or function.
