Paying homage to the rich textile history of their homeland, Luis Marie approach design as an experimental excercise in craftmanship and advanced technology. As textile and product designers with a love for colour and an exquisite eye for details, they challenge conventional production techniques and blur the line between art and design. Their work often breaks the mould of what is considered possible, they are refined and modern, and testify a desire for more tactility, softness and colour in our living environment. Luis Marie is a creative collaboration between Fenna van der Klei(1995) and Patricio Nusselder (1994).They met at and graduated from the prestigious Design Academy Eindhoven (2017). After working for fashion and interior designers in London and Amsterdam, they established their own design practice in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Merging their Dutch and Spanishroots, they developed a minimalist, graphical signature with a touch of mediterranean warmheartedness.Their work has been exhibited internationally and has been awarded several resepected national as well as european development grants and acclaimed international design prizes. More recently, in January 2024, they won the Young Talents Contest at IMM Cologne(Germany) with their latest work “Plissade”. Spazio Nobile is representing Luis Marie since 2024.
