Studio Bertjan Pot’s Rope Masks

Studio Bertjan Pot likes to experiment. they pride themselves on picking up a new material and pushing the boundaries of what it’s intended to be used for. Such is the case of these wonderful masks that were created during an attempt to make carpets. (via baubauhaus)

“Although seemingly these masks tell stories, this again started out as a material experiment. I wanted to find out if by stitching a rope together I could make a large flat carpet. Instead of flat, the samples got curvy. When I was about to give up on the carpet, Vladi came up with the idea of ​​shaping the rope into masks. The possibilities are endless, I’m meeting new faces every day.”
