Poly Powder, which is part of the designer's ongoing study of colour, started when Jacobsen sourced sand, stones, dirt and building materials from around his studio on the east coast of the Danish mainland. After collecting the materials, Jacobsen ground them into a fine dusty powder to create his coloured pigments.

About

I am a creative communicator and writer based in Barcelona, with an academic and professional background in London, focusing on cultural journalism and communication. My work spans various media and involves elaborating narratives through articles, social media management, newsletters and event organisation. I have a keen interest in issues related to space and gender, memory and materiality, craft and design—themes that I explore both in my professional career and in academic research projects.
