Maxim Bag and Box by Bertjan Pot

Dutch industrial designer Bertjan Pot’s work often starts as material research; this is evident in the effervescent tactility of his work. His Maxim series comprises a multifunctional bag and storage box handmade from recycled plastic strips. Featuring a distinctive colourful pattern, their durable woven construction and original design make them both functional and decorative. Both the bag and box are available in different sizes and colours.

Made from recycled plastic in a woven look reminiscent of traditional West African Ashanti Kente patterns, Maxim pieces can be used in a multitude of ways, from home storage to shopping.

 

The items are durable, long-lasting, and add a pop of elegant colour to any space.

Pot’s inspiration came from the material itself and, as he explains: 

 

"through studying a technique called Log-cabin weaving, which is all about making patterns appear by choosing warp and weft in a weave wisely."
