She is a little over thirty, lives in Rotterdam, a graduate of the Eindhoven Academy of Design. Dad is an engineer, mom is a speech therapist. Sabin herself and her two sisters learned and became designers. Pope, according to Marcelise, was a real walking encyclopedia, taught them to use technology and encouraged daughters to do manual work, design, and any creative activity. For example, the sisters did not give each other gifts they bought, but made something together with their parents. Dad told how what works and how it works.

Marcelise spent the first two years of her university studies at the Architecture School at the University of Victoria in Wellington, then transferred and completed her studies in Eindhoven. At the Eindhoven Design Academy, the main teachers were fellow students — gifted, extraordinary and inventive. Thus, Sabin turned out to have both an excellent engineering background and an unfettered mind that Eindhoven educational institution is so proud of.

Among the professionals who influenced her, Sabin calls the Danish artist FOS (Thomas Paulsen). It was he who oriented her in the first years after graduation. Marcelise became famous as a designer who designed the light. She said more than once that most of all she was fascinated by optical illusions, for example, colored illuminated spaces, as in the installations of James Tarrell.

She is praised for her ability to use modern technologies, which are developing particularly rapidly in this area. It uses diffusion and darkening effects. He experiments a lot with neon, emphasizing his bright glare and the ability of neon tubes to take different forms.

Her trademark skill is an original combination of materials and luminous elements. “The final look and shape of each item is really determined by the effect that I want to get, or by what the material itself suggests,” says the designer.

"My lamps are eventually functionally decorative and require interaction with the space and the user." Her portfolio has some real luck: a collection of Dawn lamps, large luminous mirrors from the Seeing Glass collection, glossy, like milk toffee, tables of Candy Cubes. Last year in Milan, she declared herself, making a spectacular lamp, in which neon was combined with a piece of natural marble.

Eye Sabine Marcelise tuned to fine work. She likes to watch the surface and the play of light. She likes glass and resin, materials that appear in liquid form and then become solid, but always keep the memory of this initial fluidity. “This is a raw material that you can control by playing on the glitter or dullness of the texture. As a rule, I am attracted to materials in which there is a category “was-became”, change, transformation. This allows us to emphasize the natural life of the object. "

One of the graduation projects of Sabine Marcellis was a grid with glass, which can be transparent or opaque depending on the time of day. This grid demonstrated that the object, though not kinetic, is constantly in motion. A person just needs to observe how he reacts to the surrounding space and to natural or artificial light. Its author's objects and collections sell five European galleries: the Copenhagen Etage Projects, the Parisian Gallery Bensimon, the London Mint Gallery, the Barcelona Side Gallery and the Brussels Victor Hunt Gallery.
