Sidedish Projects print Fence

In the ‘Faux Wood’ Series, Lex Pott presents three handmade compositions that seek to not only emulate the tactility of wood but at the same time challenge our very understandings around the material through a vibrant and unconventional use of colour. This balance, between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the ‘fake’ and the ‘genuine’, exposes the beauty in the simplicity and irregularities that come with wood as a material

about the designer:

Lex Pott (1985) employs a raw and intuitive method. In his work, he returns to the origin of the materials he uses most: wood, stone, glass and metal. He does not hide his designs under indirect layers, but reduces them to their very essence. Pott works from his design studio based in Rotterdam. He graduated cum laude in 2009 at the Design Academy Eindhoven. He makes products for his own label, but as well for other brands like HAY, &Tradition, Banne and Buro Berger. At Groen+Akker we had the pleasure to organise two times a presentation with his work (Twist candles and Atol candleholder) during design festival GLUE amsterdam.
