Barefoot and Netherland's POLSPOTTEN announce landmark design collaboration

TWO design powerhouses, Sri Lanka’s celebrated handloom brand Barefoot, and Dutch luxury interiors brand POLSPOTTEN, are joining forces for the first time in a landmark collaboration set to debut in 2025/2026.

- 

The upcoming collection will blend Barefoot’s mastery of handloom craft and colour with POLSPOTTEN’s bold, contemporary design language, marking the first collaboration between Sri Lanka and POLSPOTTEN while building on Barefoot’s decades-long tradition of working with international partners.

The collaboration is part of the EU-Sri Lanka Matchmaking Program, delivered with the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB), supported by the European Union to Sri Lanka and the Maldives and the Cultural Relations Platform (CRP), with the University of the Arts London (UAL) and the British Council as knowledge partners, and The Institute of Future Creations (TIFC) as program leader.
