THE INSPIRATION WE FOUND IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS WAS PERFECT FOR THIS COLLABORATION
POLSPOTTEN asked us to bring our vision to their collection and design a series of home décor items. The inspiration we found in the Scottish Highlands was perfect for this collaboration. POLSPOTTEN is known for its unusual home décor items and vases in particular. This is why we have chosen to focus on this product category and create our designs inspired by nature.
POLSPOTTEN COLLAB
As well as being inspired by the architecture or objects around us, inspiration can also come from nature. When we were in Scotland with our studio, we were particularly drawn to the Highlands. The beautiful unspoilt and rugged nature with natural colours, rough rocks and shimmering lochs. We combined these aspects to create our designs for the Structure series.
IT ALL STARTED WITH THE STRUCTURES WE FOUND IN THE ROCKS AND BOULDERS WE CAPTURED ON OUR TRAVELS
The products resulting from this collaboration are two ceramic vases and a bowl, each handmade using an amazing artisanal process. It all started with the structures we found in the rocks and boulders we captured on our travels. We translated these into sculptural shapes that emerge from the surface.

Its 3D structure makes it look like a sculpture, which is why we think of these design pieces as more than just a useful product – It doesn't always need flowers to shine, does it? In this design, we tried to balance the rough and the smooth, which we think creates an interesting contrast. For the glazes we chose a high gloss glaze that simulates the shimmer of the water in the Scottish lochs and also makes the robust design of the pieces very soft and pleasant at the same time.
With this range we wanted to create a contrast in the collection of POLSPOTTEN. By combining the robust, sculptural and imperfect look of these vases with their colourful and funky items, a striking and quirky image full of contrasts is created. This creates the surprisingly playful effect that POLSPOTTEN is known for.
