وصف العمل الفني

Current table is a piece of furniture that produces energy from daylight to charge appliances, all within one room. While reading a book or writing emails, the user can use his/her table to charge appliances. The glass table surface contains a dye-sensitized solar cell. These cells are able to function even under diffused light, which makes Current Table the first piece of furniture that harvests energy indoors, and where utility and aesthetics are combined in everyday objects.

Marjan van Aubel: Illuminating Sustainability Through Solar Art

Marjan van Aubel, born in Breda, Netherlands in 1985, stands at the forefront of a burgeoning movement – solar design—where artistic vision intersects seamlessly with technological innovation and environmental responsibility. Her work isn’t merely aesthetically pleasing; it's a deliberate exploration of how art can actively contribute to addressing global challenges surrounding energy consumption and climate change. From her formative years studying at Gerrit Rietveld Academy and later honing her craft at the Royal College of Art, van Aubel has cultivated an approach characterized by meticulous research, conceptual rigor, and a profound understanding of material science.

Early Influences: Van Aubel’s artistic sensibilities were nurtured by exposure to Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer—artists who skillfully employed light and shadow to convey emotion and narrative depth. This legacy informs her own stylistic choices, prioritizing clarity of form alongside subtle textural nuances.
The Birth of Solar Design: Recognizing the potential for art to communicate complex ideas about sustainability, van Aubel embarked on a groundbreaking project—the creation of ‘Current Table,’ a dining table incorporating photovoltaic cells that generate electricity from sunlight. This ambitious endeavor cemented her reputation as an innovator and demonstrated her ability to translate scientific principles into captivating visual experiences.
Notable Projects & Awards: Her dedication to sustainable design has garnered considerable acclaim, culminating in numerous prestigious awards including Wallpaper* Design Awards for ‘Sustainable Construction Project of the Year,’ The Netherlands Pavilion at Expo 2021, Dezeen Lighting Design Award, Arc21 Innovation Award and Eco Coin Award. These recognitions underscore her commitment to pushing creative boundaries while upholding ethical considerations.
Collaborations & Vision: Van Aubel’s collaborative spirit shines through her partnership with fashion designer Pauline van Dongen on the Biennial Solar project—a testament to her belief in collective creativity and its power to inspire positive change. Together, they envision a future where art plays an integral role in shaping a more ecologically conscious society.
Signature Works: Among her most striking creations are ‘The Energy Collection,’ featuring sculptural installations that visualize the flow of solar energy; ‘Well Proven Chair,’ demonstrating how design can optimize comfort and efficiency; and ‘Sunne,’ a monumental artwork exploring the symbolism of sunlight as a source of vitality and illumination. Her pieces resonate with an intellectual curiosity and artistic sensitivity that distinguishes her from many contemporary artists.

Her work isn’t simply decorative; it's a powerful statement about our relationship with the environment and the role of creativity in fostering solutions for pressing societal issues. Marjan van Aubel continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her pioneering vision—a vision where art illuminates not only beauty but also the path toward a more sustainable future.
