Marie Pot with Handles

A profound love of paper and prints and the reuse of materials inspired Serax' house designer Marie Michielssen to create a series of characteristic lamps and pots in papier-mâché. The common thread in this collection is Nature, the earth in its most rudimentary form. Averse to all modern machine-driven techniques, Marie models each individual piece manually from recycled paper, elevating the release from the chains of perfection into a new art form. The clearly visible rough structure of the material, the reddish brown, black and light grey 'primordial' colors and the manually stippled prints reinforce the individuality of each pot with all its imperfections, just as Nature does in its creations.
