arc bench
by Bertjan Pot, from Arco
arc bench
Design Bertjan Pot, 2008
Solid & veneered oak, leather
Made in the Netherlands by Arco
"The idea behind the Arc was to design a solid wooden bench in the shape of a tree trunk to combine with the razor-thin Slim table. In the course of the process - in order to facilitate 'stepping in and out'- the trunk was pared down to the very limit so it ended looking like the hull of a ship". From a technical perspective, the construction is a masterpiece: the bench is composed of two big wooden, pressed parts in oak. Body in oak veneer with a solid oak top offered in a variety of finish options. The leather grips are a beautiful and functional detail.
Bertjan Pot is a designer of mostly furniture and lighting. His methods are concentrated in his interest in skins of the structural and non-structural kind. He studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven. He considers theory as something to think about and something to discuss when not designing. "When it comes to designing one should just design without being blocked by too many theories."
Products can be finished with a matte-natural finish (N) or project finish (P). The two different finish options provide excellent protection for the wood. N-finish gives the wood an unmistakable matte appearance and the open structure of this finish provides good scratch resistance. On the other hand, N-finish requires a bit more attention when it comes to maintenance. P-finish also has a matte appearance, but is harder and more closed compared to N-finish. This makes this P-finish less sensitive to forming stains, while also providing a good scratch resistance. P-finish is easier to maintain than N-finish, which means it can be used in both residential and professional environments.

Bertjan Pot
Bertjan Pot of the Netherlands focuses in the material and production processes. He enjoys computer aesthetics and industrial production methods, but arrives at them without using them as a design tool. Almost all of his designs come from experiments in materials. His results often display merely the skin of his chosen material, creating translucence in his lighting and furniture, such as his popular Carbon Chair, Random Light, Random Chair, or Knitted lamp.
Arco Meubelfabriek bv is a dutch furniture manufacturer of high quality design furniture. The company was founded in 1904 and is still family-owned. Willem van Ast is not only the owner of the company, but is also responsible for a great part of the Arco collection developed in the past few years. Apart from the design of a piece of furniture, durability, user friendliness and a responsible choice of materials are the ever more important aspects in Arco's vision. Paying attention to the environment, Arco wants to produce a durable and technically high quality piece of furniture, by using a combination of computer technology and traditional craftsmanship.
