Marte Mei Studio

In February of 2025, I chose to pursue an internship with designer Marte Mei because her values resonate deeply with my own, and I greatly admire her innovative approach to product development. I spent 6 months working on ceramics, glazes, government funded projects, preparing and assisting exhibitions by her side.

Table

Marte was commissioned to make a table based off her “Companion Species Cabinet”. Together we crafted and designed the legs of the table, along with creating the glaze from wood ash.

Process

Marte aims to safely reuse plant residues from regenerative phytoextraction for ceramic glaze. Marte is testing how this practice can enhance regenerative processes like phytoextraction, in close collaboration with Anke Wijnja at De Ceuvel.
