Studio Plott

Studio Plott is a Dutch design studio and product brand founded in Eindhoven in 2014 by Rudi Boiten and Mireille Burger, shortly after their graduation from the Design Academy. The studio operates at the intersection of traditional craft and modern technology, developing material-based surfaces and products defined by a strong graphic language. Its founders bring complementary approaches: Boiten focuses on techniques that are both technical and tactile, while Burger works intuitively, driven by colour, material and detail. The studio's self-initiated research explores digitally printed geometric patterns and surfaces, and it continuously experiments with materials and methods to create new structures, patterns and textile bindings. Traditional techniques such as stitching, weaving and knitting are converted into modern technologies, resulting in products that feel both crafted and contemporary. Studio Plott's best-known product line is Open Rugs, a series of rugs that unites technique with tactility. The designs visualize the studio's fascination with technology, traditional craft, geometric pattern, colour and shape. Each pattern features a playful interplay of lines, with open mesh arrangements and bright colours creating a visual dialogue between the rug and its underlying surface. The first Open Rugs collection, called 'Crossing Lines', uses triangle or lozenge shapes and is available in ten different colours. Example pieces include Kite in Green (110 x 160 cm), Triangle in Indigo (120 x 180 cm) and Twill in Brown (170 x 180 cm). Products are sold through the studio's webshop and selected design retailers. As a small, founder-led studio, Studio Plott maintains a private, independent status. Its output spans rugs, textiles and material surfaces, with a positioning rooted in Dutch design culture, experimentation and the crossover between digital production and handcraft. The brand appeals to design-conscious consumers, interior professionals and collectors seeking graphic, colourful and materially innovative pieces.

Studio Plott was founded in 2014 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, by Rudi Boiten and Mireille Burger upon their graduation from the Design Academy. The pair established a collective studio in the Dutch design capital, driven by a shared fascination with the qualities of materials. From the outset, they expressed themselves through a graphic language applied to material-based surfaces and products. The studio's early work centred on self-initiated research projects exploring digitally printed geometric patterns and surfaces. Boiten, described as an observer, developed techniques that are both technical and tactile, while Burger's intuitive approach led her to explore processes where colour, material and detail are paramount. This complementary dynamic became a defining characteristic of the studio. Continuously experimenting with different materials and methods, Studio Plott developed new structures, patterns and textile bindings. A key aspect of their practice is the conversion of traditional techniques — stitching, weaving and knitting — into modern technologies, allowing craft sensibilities to inform contemporary production. The studio's most prominent commercial output is the Open Rugs collection, a series of rugs that unites technique with tactility. The designs visualize the studio's fascination with technology, traditional craft, geometric pattern, colour and shape. Each pattern features a playful interplay of lines, with open mesh arrangements and bright colours creating a visual dialogue between the rugs and their underlying surfaces. The first line of Open Rugs, called 'Crossing Lines', comprises rugs with triangle or lozenge shapes and is available in ten different colours. Named pieces include Kite in Green (110 x 160 cm), Triangle in Indigo (120 x 180 cm) and Twill in Brown (170 x 180 cm). Studio Plott sells its products through its own webshop and selected design retailers, maintaining an independent, founder-led structure. The studio remains active in Eindhoven, continuing to develop material-driven products and surfaces that bridge digital production and handcraft.
