Sabine Marcelis

Sabine Marcelis’ ‘Dawn’ Light Series is an exploration of the relationship between light and colour inspired by a time in the day where the sun, clouds and sky join to create a momentary riot of hues. This moment is suspended in a unique series of light sculptures; an installation of larger works that act as a continuation of the project ‘Voie Light Series’.
Playing with the relationship between light, colour, transparency and saturation, the ‘Dawn’ series utilizes a single white neon tube embedded in cast resin to highlight the subtle manipulation of colour and intersection with light.

After graduating from the Design Academy of Eindhoven in 2011, Sabine Marcelis began working as an independent designer within the fields of product, installation and spacial design with a strong focus on materiality. Her work is characterized by pure forms which highlight material properties. She applies a strong aesthetic point of view to her collaborations with industry specialists. This method of working allows her to intervene in the manufacturing process, using material research and experimentation to achieve new and surprising visual effects. Marcelis considers her designs to be true sensorial experiences and not simple static works: the experience becomes the function, with a refined and unique aesthetic.
