Mariette

Mariette is a low stool made of concrete.‎ Marie also designed two concrete stools, named Mariette, after her grandmother, which are placed together as puzzle pieces to create more shapes.‎ The semicircular stool repeats the shape of the semi-circle of the Jeanne table.‎ The rounded shapes have something feminine about them, contrasting nicely with the hard, masculine concrete.‎ With the Mariette stools, you have not only shapes but also materials.‎ Marie always finds it interesting to position a warm natural material such as wood alongside an industrial, man-made material such as concrete.‎The collection of side tables by Marie Michielssen for Serax reveals an idiosyncratic, eclectic ensemble of geometrical figures, materials and colours that unmistakably bear her signature.‎ Cylinders and cuboids that are not only beautiful but are also very handy because of their double function as both a side table and a stool.‎ Mix and match different tables or let a single item speak for itself; the side tables of Marie Michielssen for Serax always ‘sit’ comfortably with you.‎
