POLSPOTTEN, SINCE 1986

Since 1986, POLSPOTTEN has created objects with character for homes and hospitality. Designed in Amsterdam and crafted by artisans worldwide, each piece carries skill, soul, and a hint of the unexpected. Never mass-produced, always made to last. What began as a small shop selling Spanish terracotta pots has grown into an international design label with a playful and unconventional signature. POLSPOTTEN’s design language reflects the free-spirited energy of Amsterdam: a blend of canal-house elegance and Jordaan bravado. Today, POLSPOTTEN can be found in more than 65 countries - in department stores and concept stores like Harrods, Illum, Merci and Browns, on platforms like Made In Design, Westwing and Luisaviaroma, and featured in hotels such as Rosewood, CitizenM and Fontainebleau. The brand creates timeless pieces that make spaces playful - and unforgettable.
