Form matters. While aesthetics are only one aspect of design, there are objects, like the Candy Cube, whose unique presence can influence a whole generation of designers. A seemingly solid object with a magical glowing edge, the Candy Cube is a hallmark of Marcelis's work, highlighting her ongoing practice with material experimentation and colour. The cast resin cube is polished and translucent, it’s pink colour appears darker at the center, fading to a pale pink along its edges. The cube's function is open-ended; it can serve as a podium, a side table, or even a prop. "There's an ambiguity that leaves space for interpretation,” Marcelis explains.
