When mathematics illuminate design

Feb, 2025 • 2 Min. Read

In the world of design, rarely do we find pieces that manage to so elegantly fuse pure mathematics with the warmth of traditional craftsmanship. PottProject's Bezier lamp, designed by Miguel Angel García Belmonte, is just that: a fascinating dialogue between mathematical precision and artisanal sensibility.

Bezier curves, developed by Pierre Bezier in the 1960s for technical design in the aerospace and automotive industries, revolutionized computer-aided design (CAD). From this mathematical language, García Belmonte has succeeded in creating a human and emotional collection.

The art of continuity

What makes the Bezier lamp collection unique is how its forms flow naturally and continuously, creating a sense of calm and formal coherence. Each curve has been carefully calculated and then interpreted by artisan hands, resulting in a piece that seems to defy gravity. Light plays a crucial role in this design, gliding across the curved surfaces and creating subtle gradients that change throughout the day.

Craftsmanship and precision

The process of creating each Bezier lamp by PottProject is a testament to the fusion of technology and tradition. Artisans translate complex mathematical equations into tangible forms, working the material with a precision that honors both the designer's intent and the purity of the original Bezier curves. The result is three pieces that invite contemplation, where every angle reveals new perspectives and relationships between light and form.

Pott Project's Bezier lamp collection represents more than just a lighting object; it is a meditation on how mathematical precision can give life to objects of profound beauty and expressiveness. In a world where technology and craftsmanship are often seen as opposing forces, this piece reminds us that true innovation can emerge from the harmony between the two. It is a reminder that mathematics, far from being cold and distant, can be the basis for creating objects that move us and invite us to contemplate the beauty of precision made form.

Thanks

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
