Bertjan Pot studio visit for Moooi | Dezeen

Dutch designer Bertjan Pot offers a look inside his studio and introduces his designs for Moooi in this exclusive video produced for the furniture brand by Dezeen. Pot invited Dezeen to his Rotterdam studio, a converted gymnasium, where he demonstrated his process and showcased various products he has designed for Moooi, as well as some of the woven masks that he is known for making. He described his way of working as one borne out of material experimentation while showing Dezeen’s cameras some works-in-progress formed of everyday household materials and found objects such as drawing pins and paper lanterns. “I’m constantly trying things out, how they fit together,“ he said, “Some of these things, I consider a prototype. And sometimes a prototype actually becomes a product.“ Pot has designed products for Moooi since near the brand’s inception, including lights, chairs and a carpet. His first piece for the Dutch furniture brand was the Random Light, which he initially made by hand himself before the design caught the attention of Moooi founder Marcel Wanders.
