3dotscollective: Pot.pourri

Pot.Pourri is a collection of small, modular containers, designed with ten basic parts that through various materials and combinations can construct more than 100 unique objects with different shapes and capacities, from lamps to tableware and side tables.

Inspired by the ambition of “cutting distance” between design and material and “fluctuating shapes”, the project is cultivated around the concept of modularity and the customization.

Within the project 3dotscollective would like to tell a story, and unite the traditions of our culture, as Venezuelan indigenous weaving, with Europe's contemporary design, in which they have been shaped in the recent years. Managing both, to continue and renew design tradition while being at the forefront of the last international design expansion.

For Pot.purri the designers chose concrete as a vanguard material that continues to change and improve, which represent a strong structure in the contemporary design. Metal, which is also a strong material, has been translated into a canvas for new patterns and colors that will combine with concrete.

The project allows the user to mix and match shapes materials and colors. The concept is based on ten fundamental modular elements, with different dimensions and diameters that can be mutually paired and combined consequently, providing unlimited possibilities. The forms are adjusted according to dimensions, so they fit each other, while the elements are mutually connected with an innovate system that allows an easy manipulation.
