Polspotten

For the collaboration between POLSPOTTEN and we do a coffee & collab with creative director and curator .amsterdam .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alain’s work is defined by time. Not just the moment we live in, but what endures beyond it.
Rather than following trends, he observes, interprets and builds work that gains meaning over time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this film, we follow his coffee ritual.
A daily moment that sets the rhythm for everything that follows.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alain observes what is happening around him and brings those elements together with precision. This way he interprets the moment. Relates to it. To time itself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For him, design is not about what is new. It is about what remains.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This way of thinking is reflected in his home. A space shaped over time, where objects and daily rituals naturally come together. Moments like making coffee become a way to gather his thoughts. A quiet start before the day begins.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
His perspective on time makes him a natural fit for this collaboration. In the collection, that idea takes form in the Sandglass Ball - a 30-second timer calibrated to the ritual of espresso extraction.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because for Alain, the real test of design is not how it starts, but how it holds up.
