A course by Marre Moerel
As the daughter of an architect father and artist mother, Marre has always been exposed to exploring creative outlets. She has been participating in exhibitions since her studies in fashion, which she found too limiting for her ideas. Marre eventually switched to studying sculpture and continued with furniture design. It was during her first exhibition in Milan that her ceramic lamps were recognized, and put into production by Italy’s most renowned design company, Cappellini.
Marre has been running her own design business for twenty years. She has made furniture, tableware, decorative homeware, jewelry, watches, and more. She has designed for Capellini, Offecct, and the interiors of the hamburger restaurant chain “Home Burger”. However, Marre’s biggest client is herself, and prefers the total freedom that is brought by working on her own projects.
