IN CONVERSATION — SABINE MARCELIS

This International Women’s Day, we open up a conversation around gender equality with the renowned Dutch designer, whose work sits in the fields of product, installation and interior design.

'Those with a seat already at the table have the most power to invite/include others.'

Still not having enough seats at the table and being held to different standards.

Those who manage to juggle career and family. And those who empower other women.

I see so many talented female artists and designers getting the attention and recognition they deserve.

Those with a seat already at the table have the most power to invite/include others.

Objects and installations that showcase the possibilities of materiality and production processes. Inspired by nature and always striving to create unexpected experiences. I love to play with light and movement and often use natural elements like water and sunlight to activate my designs.

Solar energy and integrating that in my work.

I'm more listening than reading at the moment as I love podcasts! I start every day with ‘Vox, today explained’. I think it's really important to stay extremely aware of what is happening in the wider world and not just our own bubbles.
