Collaboration | Inge Simonis
A selection of objects consisting of porcelain and horsehair, made with ceramic artist Inge Simonis. With a fascination for each others art work, use of material and vision they started to experiment.
It was a challenge to combine the hard porcelain and rough horsehair fiber, because of the different characteristics.
The result is a series that includes horsehair and porcelain. They are interwoven in a surprising way.
This series has been nominated in 2006 for the 1st Contemporary Ceramic prize Lehi.Ke, Basque country, Spain.
Collaboration | Karel Bodegom
RayLight | functional & simple design, created by Marianne and interior architect Karel Bodegom (2011).
A light installation of handmade functional simplicity, combining contemporary design with practicality. Its textile artwork creates a three dimensional effect and subtly scatters and filters the light. The material used is horsehair and linen.
Angles and heights can be adjusted endlessly. The fluorescent tube inside acts as a diffuser. It can be manipulated from direct to indirect light, creating a mood light or reading light, up or down, in a trice.
Collaboration | John Boyd Textiles
In 2001 Marianne and John Boyd Textiles created a small collection of designs based on her hand weavings. John Boyd, based in the UK, is a factory from 1836 and solely weaving horsehair. In contrast to the traditional designs of John Boyd this collection has a more modern look. The fabrics can be applied to different interior products like lighting, screens or upholstery.
