Born in the Netherlands in 1963, iconoclastic designer Marcel Wanders has made humor and originality the foundation of his work. The success of Marcel Wanders started with his iconic Knotted Chair, made for Droog Design in 1996. Today, he is omnipresent and works as a designer for the most important European design companies such as B & B Italia, Bisazza, Poliform, Moroso, Flos, Boffi, Cappellini, Droog Design and Moooi of which he is also the artistic director and co-owner.
 
He became known in the 90s in the famous designer collective Droog Design. The studio quickly became a reference in the world of design thanks to a production described by some as insolent but finding always more enthusiastic buyers. However, Wanders' projects are a bit too original for market publishers at that time.
 
In order to maintain his independence from the manufacturers, Marcel Wanders founded his own publishing house in 2001: Moooi, which means "beautiful" in Dutch. Marcel Wanders' whimsical, offbeat and provocative style expresses itself fully in the Moooi collection.
 
The style of Wanders is explosive and inimitable. The designer does not hesitate to leave the often minimalist paths of current design by proposing over the top and poetic creations. The creations of Marcel Wanders are exhibited in the most prestigious museums including the MoMA in New York.
Marcel Wanders
The Swedish architects Gabriella Gustafson and Mattias Ståhlbom have run the architecture and design studio TAF (previously TAF Architects) in Stockholm, Sweden, since 2002.
 
TAF Studio’s aim is to make ordinary life less ordinary through subtle but effective changes in how products and architecture appear and function.
 
A recurrent departure point in TAF Studio’s projects is that everyday objects by their very commonness can be made uncommon.

A true masterpiece by Marcel Wanders, this huge amphora projects a sumptuous luminous fresco on the ceiling. Like a magical and mysterious vase, Chrysalis encloses a secret garden and lets out a shower of bright flowers. From the mix between the disproportionate minimalist form and the neo-baroque decorations, a surprising and delicate harmony is born.
 
The XXL volume of this luminaire is made possible thanks to the lightness of the material used. Chrisalys is made of Cocoon resin projected on a thin steel frame. This almost 'organic' material evokes both the lightness of a fabric, the warm texture of the paper and the chrysalide of a butterfly in the making ...
