Bertjan Pot Makes Detailed, Bright Rope Masks

Dutch designer Bertjan Pot is the artist behind these incredible rope masks. He started making them as a part of a material experiment with designer Vladi Rapaport when they wanted to explore different uses for various materials. According to Pot, the masks come from an attempt at making rugs that didn’t go so well.

Pot started the Random Light series “as a material research, which is basically the starting point of each product created by Bertjan Pot. The outcome is usually an interior product showing a fascination for techniques, structures, patterns and colors,” we learnt on his website.

Each mask appears to have a different personality which the artist achieves using a unique combination of colors and shapes every time. Follow him on Instagram to see more of his work.
