Meet Charles Kaisin, Polomé’s New Artistic Director

Join us for an exclusive encounter with Polomé, the Belgian fine jewellery house celebrating more than 70 years of craftsmanship, for a closer look at the creative vision behind Origami, a jewellery collection designed by Charles Kaisin, the house’s new Artistic Director.

Rooted in a rich heritage of Belgian jewellery-making, Polomé brings together artisanal expertise, contemporary design, and an innovative approach to materials. From its historic workshop in Charleroi to its distinctive collections, the house explores the meeting point between jewellery, art, and architecture, transforming each creation into a sculptural expression of design.

At the heart of this workshop is Charles Kaisin, a Belgian designer, architect, and scenographer whose multidisciplinary practice spans object design, architecture, installations, and experiential events. For Kaisin, origami is much more than the art of folding paper. Inspired by his time in Japan, he explores how a simple fold can transform a flat surface into a three-dimensional form, creating new volumes, structures, and perspectives. This fascination with geometry and transformation lies at the heart of Origami, the jewellery collection he imagined for Polomé.

During this exclusive workshop, participants will discover the creative journey behind the collection, from its initial inspiration to the finished pieces. Through insights into Kaisin’s artistic vision and Polomé’s jewellery-making expertise, the session will reveal how an idea takes shape through experimentation, technical precision, and craftsmanship.

Throughout the experience, participants will:

• Discover Polomé’s heritage and its approach to contemporary fine jewellery, shaped by more than 70 years of Belgian craftsmanship.
• Meet the creative vision behind Origami, exploring Charles Kaisin’s inspirations and his distinctive relationship with geometry, folding, and materials.
• Explore the art of jewellery making, discovering the techniques, precision, and craftsmanship involved in transforming a design concept into a finished creation.
• Experience the creative process up close, with an opportunity to discover the jeweller’s workbench and gain insight into the gestures and skills behind each piece.

More than an introduction to jewellery design, this workshop offers a glimpse into the dialogue between artistic vision and artisanal expertise, revealing how a simple idea can evolve into a sculptural piece of jewellery.

Join us for an intimate encounter with Polomé and the world of Charles Kaisin, where Belgian craftsmanship meets contemporary design and the art of folding inspires a new perspective on jewellery.
