Studio Marèl Smit

The interplay of lines in architecture, the forms of buildings, the sea, and the sky are significant sources of inspiration for Marèl. 

From an idea, shape, or material, Marèl allows her intuition to guide the design process. For her, the production process is of great importance. She pays a lot of attention to it, emphasizing perfection and precision.

Marèl is a maker and designer, driven by craftsmanship, expertise, and passion. Through her work, she strives to preserve traditional crafts. Her fascination lies in ceramics and glassblowing because of their unpredictability. What captivates her about these materials is that they follow their own path, beyond her control. By experimenting with ceramics and glass, she merges both crafts. They emphasize the contrast between solid and liquid.
