PEEKING INTO A DESIGNER’S MIND: SABINE MARCELIS
DESIGNER SERIES INSPIRATION
We are always on the hunt for inspirations and what is trending around the world. What better way to stimulate our creativity through searching and looking at works from famous and rising designers all over the world. Our newsletter goes beyond giving tips for renovations and our projects but we also would like to inspire our readers. In this newsletter we begin this series with Sabine Marcelis – a designer living and working in Rotterdam the Netherlands. Sabine Marcelis is a name that you will hear rolling off designers and design collectors tongues currently. Sabine is known for her sophicasted work which is light and feminine. She enjoys playing with neon colours, mirrors and light. In fact, when you look at her work, you realise she tends to go for materials that allows subtle transparency as well.

Neon Lights Galore Sabine Marcelis is known for many different installations and art works such as her Solo Sundial installation, The Shape of Water installation commissioned by FENDI and her unique take on a Lazy Susan.
Meeting Room Chairs – Big & Grand
In fact in an interview with yatzer.com Sabine mentioned that “The
experience is the function. They are aesthetic objects with a function that create a moment of wonder.” We can’t help but agree that not only are these lights functional but they give just the right amount of magic to any home/gallery. Indeed a splendid master piece! We cant help but drool at these pieces!
However in this newsletter we will be looking at her distinctive circular neon lights. The pieces she designed in the Voie Lights series can be looked and classified as both light fittings and light sculptures.
