When Circularity and Local Resources Shape Design
Form Follows Material: When Circularity and Local Resources Shape Design.
Join us for an inspiring morning talk, organized by Hydro, featuring:
Sabine Marcelis – Material-focused approach to product, installation, and spatial design
Stefan Diez – Considers circular design to be a key principle of his design philosophy
After displaying "R100” in Milan and Copenhagen, during Dutch Design Week, Hydro brings the exhibition home to its origin. Hydro is a global leader in aluminum. The project started with the harvesting of post-consumer aluminium from decommissioned green-houses and light poles in the Eindhoven area. Turn-ing locally sourced aluminum scrap into design objects showcases urban mining in practice, and the exhibition features new works from designers Sabine Marcelis, Keiji Takeuchi, Cecilie Manz, Daniel Rybakken and Stefan Diez. Each design object is brought to life within a self-imposed limit of a 100-km production radius in the Benelux region.
Sabine Marcelis is a Rotterdam-based artist and designer known for her material-focused approach to product, installation, and spatial design. Since graduating from the Design Academy of Eindhoven in 2011, she has collaborated with industry specialists, integrating material research into the manufacturing process to create striking visual effects. She has collaborated with brands such as Vitra, Audi, Céline, IKEA, Dior, Fendi, and Renault. In 2024, Marcelis was named Dezeen’s Designer of the Year and featured on Architectural Digest’s AD100 list.
