Valerie

A furniture design by Marie Michielssen always starts with a series of sketches on paper.‎ With mathematical precision, she builds up the volumes.‎ The proportions must be perfect and adapted to suit the human body.‎ For the Valerie lounge chair, she started from an elliptical base to which she added two rectangular surfaces, a seat and back at a perfect angle that makes it possible to sit comfortably.‎ Besides the lacquered steel version she made one version in noble oak wood, finished with a dark brown stain.‎Marie Michielssen has designed for Serax for many years.‎ Home designer Marie Michielssen draws her inspiration from daily life.‎ She lets different stimuli lead and inspire her to make new designs.‎ Her impressions are translated into original designs such as tealights, vases, flower pots and canvass bags which invariably come back in a new form in every collection.‎ Marie also gives old or forgotten materials a new use.‎
