Corten steel flower sculptures
Everyone recognizes the silhouettes of hogweed, and poppies; inspired by nature, Margriet has designed these beautiful sculptures, which are laser-cut from 3mm thick Corten steel. This metal oxidizes beautifully, creating a natural and stunning orange-brown rust color over time. You can easily place the flower in the ground, in a border, on a lawn, or in a flowerpot.
Tornare Candle holder
Minimalist brass candlestick, manufactured in Holland. Reversible – suitable for multiple candle sizes. The candle holder comes packaged in beautiful gift packaging and fits through the letterbox.
Flower wood sculpture
From the series: 'Nature silhouettes' The silhouettes of the hogweed, berry branch, reed plumes, and fern branch are inspired by nature. Margriet designed these beautiful sculptures. They are laser-cut from 4 mm thick wood, and the top and bottom sides consist of oak veneer for a natural look. They look beautiful on their own but can also be nicely combined with each other or with the poppy wood sculptures previously designed by Margriet. The branches are approximately 80 cm high.

The wood is oiled with natural linseed oil from Denmark.

'I Felt Good Vase' - You can easily slide this vase over a glass bottle, so you can create something new from used materials in no time!
I Felt Good Vase You can easily slide this vase over a glass bottle, creating something new from used materials in no time! The felt is made from discarded textiles, produced by I-did. The I-did factory is the only one of its kind worldwide to bring a complete circular felt chain under one roof. All that beautiful felt forms the basis for social action: helping the long-term unemployed get back to work. Dutch design, made in Holland! The I Felt Good vase is not only made from recycled material, but it can also be shipped as a flat package, making it doubly sustainable—not just because of the material, but also because of the shipping!
