Traces of time

Lex Pott, true colours, detail

With his 'true colours' collection Lex Pott visualizes, in a series of metal plates, the origin of the materials as well as how the material has been manipulated. The product itself communicates the story of the production process.The designer shows a fascination for where things come from and how they are created and states that 'a product gets a deeper meaning by telling a story about the material qualities'. 

The chemical process that that is applied generates controllable randomness, an approach that needs flexibility curiousity and talent for improvisation. The transformed materials communicate the story of the color which is directly linked to the process and therefore becomes genuine, true.
