Bertjan Pot 1975
Bertjan Pot was born in 1975 in Nieuwleusen, the Netherlands, and studied at the Design Academy in Eindhoven before setting up his studio in Rotterdam. He is probably best known for the Random Light lamp launched by Moooi, which, like every product he creates, starts as an experiment with materials.
Bertjan Pot's most famous product is probably Random Light, which he created in 1999. He makes the masks from colourful rope. The random light and the masks are based on an experiment with materials, which is usually the starting point for all his designs. The result is usually an interior design product that shows a fascination for techniques, structures, patterns and colours. Most of his experiments are born quite impulsively out of a certain curiosity about how things would work or what something would look like. From there, Pot takes on challenges with or without manufacturers to explore opportunities and push the boundaries a bit.
Most of Pot's experiments start with a curiosity about how things work, or are designed to take up the challenge with manufacturers to push the envelope further. The result is usually an interior design product based on a fascination for techniques, textures, patterns and colours. His work is represented at the V&A Museum in London, the MoMa in New York, the French National Art Collection I Versatile and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, among others. Studio Bertjan Pot works with manufacturers such as Arco, Established & Sons, Feld, Gelderland, Montism, Moooi and Richard Lampert.
In our range at NO GA we offer several of his light fittings that he designed for Moooi. These include Heracleum and Random Light. Designed in 2010, Heracleum was inspired by nature and is shaped like a flower sprig with lots of leaves. The lens consists of small semi-transparent polycarbonate lenses on thin metal branches. The lenses embrace the light beam, creating a striking play of light in the room.
