de Design Gallery - The Treads that Bind Us exhibition. In the context of The
Treads that Bind Us exhibition at the Plus de Design Gallery, a collective
presenting the work of a selection of young designers active on the
international scene and sharing the same interest in research into the design
and construction of systems, processes and objects adopting a critical approach
to input coming from everyday contemporary life, the Bertjan Pot masks featured above.
Above:
Bertjan Pot – Masks. Although seemingly these masks tell stories, they started
out as a material experiment. Bertjan Pot wanted to find out if by stitching a
rope together he could make a large flat carpet. Instead of flat, the samples got curvy. When Pot was about to give up on the carpet
his assistant Vladi Rapaport came up with the idea of shaping rope into
masks. The possibilities are endless.

de Design Gallery - The Treads that Bind Us exhibition. Massimo Barbierato – Piccola
Riflessione. “This object is a small
reflection on the egocentric nature of man, who tends, by his very nature, to
want to see his own image reflection endlessly, everywhere, on things and
people. I believe this problem is
remarkably present in our daily lives and society. We are surrounded by an army of Louis
XIVs. For this reason I thought of
mirror with a circular shape which generates a “small reflection” of, and on,
oneself.” Massimo Barbierato.
