Everything has been done before—but not by you! This workshop invites participants to reimagine the familiar, exploring creativity from a perspective unburdened by convention. The title itself combines words that have been so overused they risk losing their meaning, yet together they evoke a playful and compelling world full of possibilities. By embracing clichés and stripping them of pretense, participants are encouraged to approach their work with a fresh, unfiltered perspective.

Bertjan Pot draws inspiration from amateur creations, kindergarten projects, folk traditions, and outsider art—expressions that are often overlooked in professional design yet brim with raw authenticity and unexpected charm. Often these naive approaches allow for a freedom of form and material that can lead to surprising results. The goal is to bypass the constraints of traditional design and instead develop genuine visual languages, rich in individuality and shared exploration, that challenges what design can be.

Over the course of the week, participants will work together to create a unique chandelier for a special location within Domaine de Boisbuchet’s estate. The process will include a series of mini-workshops, each focusing on specific techniques and materials, allowing participants to explore a variety of approaches. Some activities will be individual, encouraging personal expression, while others will involve teamwork to experiment with collaborative creation.
The result will be an eclectic chandelier, combining contributions from the majority of participants. It will be a piece that is not defined by perfection but by the diversity and richness of ideas, made interesting precisely because of the variety of perspectives it brings together.
