Paying homage to the rich textile heritage of their homelands, Luis Marie approach design as an experimental exercise in craftsmanship and advanced technology. As textile and product designers with a love of colour and an exquisite eye for detail, they challenge conventional production techniques and blur the line between art and design. Their work often breaks the mould of what is considered possible: refined and modern, it testifies to a desire for more tactility, softness, and colour in our living environments.
Luis Marie is the creative collaboration between Fenna van der Klei (1995) and Patricio Nusselder (1994). They met 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 Spanish roots, they developed a minimalist, graphical signature with a touch of mediterranean warmheartedness.
Their work has been exhibited internationally and has been awarded several respected national as well as European development grants and acclaimed international design prizes. They won the Young Talents Contest at IMM Cologne in 2024, the second prize at Salone Satellite in Milan for Plissade Burgundy Lava, as well as the Best Textile Design Award at the 2025 Dezeen Awards.
Spazio Nobile has represented Luis Marie since 2024.
