An object that has been thoughtfully conceptualized, designed, and crafted has the power to lift a room with style and harmony. Product designer Lex Pott describes his self-titled design studio as a mad scientist lab, where he explores and experiments with simple raw materials using a hands-on approach.

Dive into product design by exploring the properties of raw materials like wood, wax, polyester, and synthetic clay. Use simple tools and materials to explore colors, values, and intensities to create your own materials library.
