for providing the following description:

Diptych1系列由的所有产品都由同一棵花旗松制成，因此每个产品上都标有“1”。这棵树1960年种在荷兰森林国家公园，2013年被砍伐。其所有工序都在荷兰完成，是名副其实的“荷兰制造”。

产品名称“Diptych”（双联画）指每个产品中几何形状与有机形状、开放部分与闭合部分、控制与自由的融合。产品上的图案是在喷砂处理时用带橡胶贴纸的覆盖件制作出来的。

Every object from the Diptych1 series comes from the same Douglas fir, therefore carrying the ‘1’, branded on each product. This particular tree was planted on the Dutch grounds of the Veluwe around 1960 and cut down in 2013. All the processing of the material took place in the Netherlands, making this a project deserving of the title ‘Made in the Netherlands’.

The title Diptych refers to the juxtaposition within each object of geometric and organic shapes, open and closed parts, control and freedom. The patterns are created by covering parts of the objects with rubber stickers during the sandblasting process.

原生态呈现的木材展现了树的一生。夏天为它赋予了稀疏的年轮，而寒冷的冬天则让年轮变得密集。喷砂处理带走了稀疏的年轮，留下宽宽的间隙。木材内有多种不同的颜色：心材偏红色，边材则偏黄。为了突出木材纹理，产品用油和蜡进行了处理。

You can see the life of the tree in the wood: good summers give a wide annual ring, harsh winters a thin one. By sandblasting you blow away the soft rings of summer, leaving a wide gap. Within the wood there are different colours: heartwood has a reddish hue, sap-wood is more yellow. To accentuate the wood markings, the objects are finished with a combination of oil and wax.

该系列产品从构思到成品的整个过程都由New Window和Lex Pott合作完成。

毕业于埃因霍温设计学院的荷兰设计师Lex Pott（1985）是第一位与设计工业新平台New Window合作的设计师。Lex Pott偏爱木材石材金属等天然材料，并对它们的加工工艺有深厚的兴趣，他的作品唯美且尊重材料的自然属性，用积极的方法探索设计的平衡之道。他提到：“我喜欢与New Window合作的原因是因为这是一个可以呈现所有设计过程的平台。通常，我会在一张书页内展示成品和设计故事。这样，对此感兴趣的人就能了解创意设计背后的故事。我还喜欢这种方式所带来的张力，就好像一开始便亮出王牌，接下来的道路会更加艰难。”

The entire process of the collaboration between New Window and Lex Pott, from the first moment of inspiration until the final outcome.

Dutch designer Lex Pott (1985), who graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven, is the first participant of New Window – a platform providing insight to the worlds of industry and craftsmanship. Lex Pott has a preference for the natural materials such as stone, metal, and strong interest in the processing. His objects are aesthetic. He employs the natural properties of the materials they are made from and pursues the balance between actively designing and letting things happen. Lex on the commission for New Window: “What I like about our collaboration is the opportunity to show the unpolished design process from A to Z. Usually I present a final object together with its design story in one package. In this case, thoseinterested can catch a glimpse of the real world behind the creative process. I also like the tension this brings; the vulnerability which comes from showing your cards at the beginning.”
