In 2015, design studio The Invisible Party and W Hotel joined forces to design cushions for the rooms of the W Hotel in Amsterdam. The cushions, executed in colours that differ for each room, give a cheerful picture of the personal trinkets that can be found in the windows of houses in Amsterdam.
In 2015, the five-star W Hotel opened its doors in the heart of the Dutch capital. Set in the city’s former Telephone Exchange dating from 1903, the high-end hotel is known for its hip take on design. The Invisible Party developed custom textiles for the rooms and suites.

Pot’s work can be found in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, MoMa in New York, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the TextielMuseum.
