Seller's Notes:Modern and elegant The Heracleum Endless, by Bertjan Pot, is a perpetual blossom of new branches that multiplies by the meter. Starting out as an experiment and inspired by its namesake flower, the Heracleum Endless know no bounds. Heracleum is powered by Electrosandwich, a technique of coating conductive layers, very thin and delicate. A design not possible with normal wires. The Heracleum Endless comes in three different colours. Let there be no end to the bloom of Heracleum Endless! Heracleum is powered by Electrosandwich, a technique of coating conductive layers, very thin and delicate.

"Heracleum arrived at Moooi as a fantasy. I had the wish to light many LED-lights at the same time. I experimented with bundles of electricity wires that I shaped into a branch structure. During the development of the design it just seemed that too much soldering was required. Then Marcel Wanders had the 'luminous' idea to use his ELECTROSANDWICH® to make the design possible. The structure was coated with a plastic layer for isolation and on top of that a conductive layer to supply the LEDs with power. Using this technique it was possible to create a structure more slender than I had hoped for when I started the project. The technique and design are perfect for each other." - Bertjan Pot 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."
