Making something good perfect
10 October 2009today, we’re at Martin’s place in Eibergen, in the east of the Netherlands. Martin is the designer of the MummyMug, so thanks to him we’ve been able to go from idea to a concrete product. We are now in the last stages of getting ready for production, and what better way to spend a Saturday than talking through the last measures we need to take to get ready?! ;-)
Let me tell you something more about Martin, he has an interesting background for sure. Martin is really what you would call a classic inventor — he lives in the countryside, and has, with his own two hands, single-handedly built a fantastic workshop where he can do everything: work with metal, wood and plastics, measure pressure, build prototypes … he simply makes things!! One day, a woman called Cecilia with a crazy idea walked into his garden.…. as you probably guess, she came there to convince him that he should design a stylish and safe coffee mug, that would be called the MummyMug. Since then he has been a key member of the team.
From the start, Martin has been passionate about form as well as function, and had his first training in art/sculpture design. Now you can understand where the beautiful shape from the MummyMug handle comes from — that is a result of Martin’s aesthetic talents. Since 1985, Martin runs his own company, Protos Inventive Product Design, and he teaches students of industrial design in prototyping at a local university (Enschede).

He sounds like a Dutch James Lovelock, or Dyson. Lone inventors are cool.
