Marie Michielssen has been part of Serax’s in-house design team for over two decades, creating collections rooted in everyday life and shaped by a deep respect for materials. With a background in graphic design, she brings a strong sense of form and structure to her work—often starting with simple sketches or sculpting with leftover materials in the studio. Her fascination with tactile, humble elements like paper informs much of her process, allowing for experimentation that’s both intuitive and grounded. Each piece reflects her interest in function, but always carries a distinct presence, shaped by her hands and a clear point of view. She develops two collections per year for Serax, consistently exploring new forms through a familiar, human lens.
