The vision: Moments of wonderrrVARMBLIXT - Art Event 2021rLED table/wall lamp, orange glassrrSabine Marcelis: “Art in the home elevates it from being a place for shelter into a space where you have emotional triggers. I think the daily mood changing effect of being surrounded by objects that you have some kind of a connection to or that create an emotional trigger is a very important thing.”rrSabine Marcelis is motivated by getting to the core of a concept or a material. Her designs often have a minimal quality in order to emphasise the specific properties and effects of the materials used. Her work is defined by this sensitivity to materials – she hopes her designs create “a moment of wonder” and compel an emotional response and curious engagement in viewers. She believes that by art and functional design coming together, art becomes less “untouchable” and can be experienced by more people. rrFor her contribution to IKEA ART EVENT 2021, Marcelis was inspired by Italian painter Lucio Fontana’s slashed canvases and wanted to translate this simple gesture – a cut through a surface – to a light fitting. “I think a lot of inspiration comes from doing,” she says and the design for her IKEA wall lamps emerged through experimentation with folding and cutting paper. She considers the wall lamps, which come in two different sizes and can change five different colours, to be a departure from her usual lighting designs, where she works with white light passing through different (often transparent) materials. In contrast, her IKEA lamps explore the wonderful effects created by a dynamic light emanating from a single, solid surface. According to the designer, their function is to create an atmosphere at home – they can change the mood of any space. rrSabine MarcelisrNew Zealand-born and Rotterdam-based designer Sabine Marcelis is fascinated with the unique properties of materials and the effects specific materials can create – for example, resin or glass interacting with light. Her practice is process-driven: her designs emerge through extensive experimentation with ideas and materials in the studio. Working across product, installation and spatial design, she aims to create magical experiences through her engaging designs.rrAs new - unpacked! rDimensions: rCord length: 2.0 mrHeight: 11 cmrDiameter: 30 cmrLuminous flux: 85 lumensrPower: 1.5 Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
