Construct Planter 01, Brown by Marie Michielssen for Serax
The Construct collection is a sculptural series of handcrafted stoneware planters and decorative vessels that blends architectural geometry with primitive, earthy aesthetics. Defined by bold proportions, stacked cylindrical and conical forms, and a restrained palette of black and brown, the collection explores the balance between raw materiality and refined modern design. Michielssen describes the concept as an exercise in “playing with shapes,” cutting and reassembling simple forms into harmonious compositions inspired by architecture and ancient pottery traditions. The result is a contemporary yet timeless collection that functions both as practical planters and as artistic interior objects with a strong tactile presence.
