Published by Apartamento to accompany her first museum exhibition, \u003cem\u003eSabine Marcelis—Light and Color\u003c\/em\u003e, at Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, the book follows the work taking shape inside her Rotterdam studio. The exhibition runs from October 30, 2026 to April 4, 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographed by Mattia Balsamini in the months before the opening, the book captures the testing, making and refining that sit behind Marcelis’s seemingly effortless forms. Mirrors, pink resin slabs and carefully shaped droplets share the studio with works still in progress. Light, colour and material become tools for experimentation, revealing a process built on patience, precision and close collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the photographs, curator Damian Fopp reflects on the experience of watching the exhibition develop. WhatsApp exchanges and email snapshots between the studio and museum bring another layer to the story, tracing the practical decisions and shared effort behind the finished show. Rather than presenting only polished objects, \u003cem\u003eMaking a Show\u003c\/em\u003e makes room for the conversations, manufacturers and many hands that help bring them into being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased in Rotterdam, Sabine Marcelis works across objects, installations and spatial projects, exploring how light and colour transform the materials around us. Her practice relies on close relationships with local manufacturers, pushing familiar processes towards unexpected results. Her work belongs to permanent collections including MoMA, the Stedelijk Museum and the Vitra Design Museum. In 2026, she also created \u003cem\u003eMaze\u003c\/em\u003e, a large-scale immersive installation for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItalian photographer Mattia Balsamini is based between London and Milan. After working as a studio assistant and archivist for David LaChapelle in 2010, he developed a practice spanning personal and editorial projects, including collaborations with MIT and NASA. His photographs have been exhibited at the Triennale di Milano, MAXXI, the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation and the Italian Cultural Institute in San Francisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Apartamento Publishing S.L.\u003cbr\u003eRelease date: October 28, 2026\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 240 × 295 mm\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-84-09-89979-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking for a fresh perspective beyond the bookshelf?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pukassurfshop.com\/collections\/all-clothing\" title=\"New Clothing Arrivals for Surf \u0026amp; Street – Pukas Surf Shop\"\u003eExplore the latest clothing arrivals at Pukas Surf Shop\u003c\/a\u003e and find your next everyday favourites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APARTAMENTO","offers":[{"title":"MULTI \/ OS","offer_id":57665191477572,"sku":"SA1","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/0673\/files\/Pukas-Surf-Shop-Book-Apartamento-Making-A-Show-Sabine-Marcelis-1.jpg?v=1794218376","url":"https:\/\/pukassurfshop.com\/products\/apartamento-making-a-show-sabine-marcelis","provider":"PUKAS SURF SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
