A new season calls for an injection of new energy. Sometimes, it’s the smallest reset — a sculptural lamp, a new coffee table, an unexpected accent piece — that can make a space feel fresh again. A little playfulness might be just the reset your space needs this summer.
As we head into summer, we’re embracing a more joyful approach to interiors. Lighter, longer days call for lighter, brighter spaces. There’s room for colour, texture, curves and a little more fun. Pols Potten, with its lighthearted yet considered approach to design, is the perfect companion for a season that celebrates fun, enjoyment and living beautifully.
behind the brand
Founded in Amsterdam in 1986, Pols Potten has built a distinctive reputation for design that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The Dutch brand brings together craftsmanship, experimentation and a sense of humour, designing and crafting furniture and accessories that are made to spark conversation and create a focal point.
Its designs often play with proportion, material and form, balancing functionality, individuality and an element of surprise. From sculptural silhouettes to playful but functional objects, Pols Potten has a knack for taking familiar piece of furniture or decorative object and giving it a fresh point of view.
Over the years, a number of pieces have become instantly recognisable, including the bold, graphic Zig Zag Chair, the playful Egg Vase and the sculptural Bubbles collection. These are pieces with personality — designs that can stand confidently on their own while still working beautifully as part of a layered interior.
Shared design values
At La Grange Interiors, we appreciate design that feels both distinctive and enduring. As the exclusive South African agent for Pols Potten, we’re proud to bring the brand’s unique style to our clients and our spaces.
This longstanding relationship is testament to a natural alignment between the two brands. Like La Grange, Pols Potten places importance on considered design, quality craftsmanship and thoughtful curation. These aren’t pieces chosen simply to fill a room; they’re objects and furnishings that add character, create conversation and contribute to the way a space feels.
Some of this season’s standouts
The Bulle Lamp is a perfect example of Pols Potten’s playful approach. With its sculptural and eye-catching ceramic form and soft beige finish, it brings warmth and personality to a room without overwhelming it. Style it on a bedside table, console or sideboard, or let it take centre stage on a living-room side table.
For a more subtle statement, the Oval Coffee Table combines a generous, organic shape with a timeless tone that echoes travertine. Its softly rounded form works beautifully with both contemporary and more relaxed interiors. Pair it with low-slung seating, textured rugs and layered accessories for an inviting summer living space.
The Anish Side Table brings another sculptural element to the collection. Its clean white finish and distinctive form make it an effortless accent beside a sofa or armchair, while also working beautifully as a pedestal for a favourite object, vase or lamp. It’s the kind of versatile piece that adds interest wherever it lands.
Showroom is best
There’s only so much a photograph can tell you. Seeing pieces in situ is the best way to appreciate their finishes, proportions and tactile qualities — and to see how they come into conversation with other furniture and accessories.
