Sabine Marcelis

Sabine Marcelis is a Dutch designer whose work stands out for its experimental and poetic approach to materials and light. She explores the properties of both natural and industrial substances to create sculptural works that play with perception and viewer interaction.

After graduating from the Rotterdam Academy of Industrial Design in 2011, Sabine Marcelis quickly established herself as an innovative figure in contemporary design, developing a unique visual language that blends aesthetics and functionality. Her work is characterized by a meticulous exploration of translucent materials, vibrant colors, and striking light effects.

She uses materials such as resin, glass, and marble, manipulating them to accentuate their transparency and create surprising visual effects. Her creations, often inspired by kinetic art and minimalism, are both sensual and experimental, eliciting strong emotional reactions and unique sensory experiences.

Sabine Marcelis is also known for her collaborations with renowned brands and galleries, including projects with major design houses such as Fendi, Perrier-Jouët, and publishers like MOOOI. Her work includes installations, furniture, and decorative objects, all marked by her pursuit of harmony between form and function.

By using light as a central element, she manages to transform everyday objects into immersive experiences, where materiality takes on an almost magical dimension. Sabine Marcelis’ approach transcends the traditional boundaries of industrial design, turning it into a field of experimentation—a way to explore the emotional and sensory impact of objects and environments. Each piece in her portfolio invites a rediscovery of the beauty and complexity of materials while offering a decidedly modern vision of design.
