A rising star in the design world, the 37-year-old Dutchwoman with the very French name (her parents love France) has just been crowned once again at the Milan Design Week by Elle Decor magazine (Italian version). Earlier in the year, she was in the news for a superb collaboration with popular furniture giant Ikea. Just graduated in 2011 from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, she was approached by Rem Koolhaas and his studio OMA decided to make her one of his collaborators. Burberry, Fendi, the Cannes Film Festival, many are those who have succumbed to her touch. If Sabine Marcelis embellishes her time, she does not do it only for a small handful of ultra privileged. She also knows how to include the greatest number of people and thus proves that she has been able to grasp the issues of her time.
