Descripción de la obra

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, represents a remarkable convergence of artistic talent and environmental consciousness—a pioneer in solar design who believes that creativity holds the key to tackling global challenges related to energy consumption and climate change. Her journey began with formative years spent studying at Gerrit Rietveld Academy, where she absorbed the lessons of Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer – artists who mastered the art of manipulating light and shadow to convey emotion and narrative depth. This profound understanding of visual storytelling would become a cornerstone of her artistic practice. Further honing her skills at the Royal College of Art solidified her commitment to rigorous research and conceptual exploration, equipping her with an unparalleled grasp of material science—a discipline she seamlessly integrates into her groundbreaking projects. Recognizing the transformative potential of art as a vehicle for communicating complex ideas about sustainability, van Aubel initiated ‘Current Table,’ an ambitious dining table incorporating photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. This daring endeavor instantly established her reputation as an innovator and demonstrated her ability to translate scientific principles into captivating visual experiences—a testament to her conviction that beauty can inspire action. Her dedication to sustainable design has garnered international 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 unwavering commitment to pushing creative boundaries while upholding ethical considerations—a philosophy that permeates every facet of her artistic endeavors. Collaborations with fellow designers like Pauline van Dongen on the Biennial Solar project exemplify this collaborative spirit, reinforcing her belief in collective creativity as a catalyst for positive societal change. Among her most impactful creations are ‘The Energy Collection,’ monumental sculptural installations visualizing the flow of solar energy and exploring themes of transformation and renewal; ‘Well Proven Chair,’ demonstrating how design can optimize comfort and efficiency while minimizing environmental impact; and ‘Current Window,’ an innovative architectural element designed to maximize natural light and reduce reliance on artificial illumination. Her artistic vision extends beyond mere aesthetics, reflecting a deep engagement with pressing ecological concerns—a perspective that distinguishes her from many contemporary artists. Marjan van Aubel continues to inspire audiences worldwide with her pioneering approach—one where art illuminates not only beauty but also the path toward a more sustainable future. She embodies the belief that creativity can serve as a powerful force for progress, reminding us that innovation and artistic expression are inseparable in addressing the challenges facing our planet.
