Sabine Marcelis, rise

Five years after launching Sabine Marcelis’ much acclaimed and breakthrough Dawn lights at DesignMiami/2015, Victor Hunt Designart Dealer now is pleased to once again unveil the now stellar designer’s latest, greatest new series entitled 'Rise' for the occasion of her 2020 Dutch Design Ambassadorship during 2020’s Dutch Design Week.

In continuation of her explorations of light interactions, Rise delves into the possibilities of layered mirrors and neon lights to simultaneously create optical illusions of infinity and colour filtered reflections of the world that is, resulting in hybrid works that are both mirrors when turned off and lights when turned on.
