Lokum Side Table

Matter, light and color merge in an intense material interplay in the Lokum series of side tables, crafted by Sabine Marcelis for Acerbis. It is a collection that captures the sophistication of minimalist shapes, enhanced by the skilled craftsmanship of blown glass. Sabine Marcelis, known for her poetic and meticulous use of reflective surfaces and color nuances, has fashioned a collection that radiates ethereal charm. This collection produces remarkable interplays of light and shade. Lokum is the tangible result of the Dutch designer’s ability to transform materials into works of art.

Sabine Marcelis is an artist and designer who runs her practice from the harbor of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. After graduating from the Design Academy of Eindhoven in 2011, Marcelis began working within the fields of product, installation and spatial design with a strong focus on materiality. Her work is characterized by pure forms which highlight material properties.

Marcelis applies a strong aesthetic point of view to her collaborations with industry specialists. This method of working allows her to intervene in the manufacturing process, using material research and experimentation to achieve new and surprising visual effects for projects both showcased in museums and commissioned by commercial clients and fashion houses. Sabine considers her designs to be true sensorial experiences: the experience becomes the function, with a refined and unique aesthetic. Her work has been acquired into the permanent collection of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and The National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, AU among others. She has recently won the prestigious Elle Deco International Design award 2023 ‘Designer of the year’ and Wallpaper awards ‘Designer of the year 2020’.
