SABINE MARCELIS - Voie Light Series

Light. Neon. Circles – the ‘Voie’ series by Dutch lighting and product designer Sabine Marcelis is a collection of lighting born out of the curiosity to manipulate the path of light. Playing with resin allowed her to manipulate the line of light in different ways, creating a stronger diffusion or dimming effect, she explains.
