Martens & Visser
In an era overflowing with visual stimuli, their creations stand out as moments of engagement. These pieces go beyond mere aesthetic appeal—they encourage interaction, movement, and exploration. By harnessing the interplay of light, reflection, and transformation, they craft ever-evolving experiences that captivate and reveal something new.
The studio transforms everyday materials into compositions that are in flux. These transformations invite exploration and engagement, sparking wonder and a sense of discovery.
At the core of their artistic process is a fascination with the hidden forces that govern our world—gravity, balance, light and reflection. By deeply engaging with materials, they uncover new creative potentials through hands-on experimentation. This process of experiments, observation, and manipulation leads to unexpected results, giving birth to objects that are both poetic and aesthetically expressive.
Their work has been showcased in prominent institutions such as Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Museum W in Weert, NEMO Science Museum Amsterdam, ‘We The Curious’ Science Museum in Bristol, the Textile Museum in Tilburg, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, and the Singer Museum in Laren.

Conventional mirrors are known for replicating their surroundings, presenting a faithful reflection of the world as we see it. ECHO mirrors, on the other hand, challenge this norm by reshaping reflections into a reinvented version of reality. Using fragmented surfaces, these mirrors distort their surroundings, producing an altered and unexpected visual experience that is both surprising and abstract.
By manipulating reflective materials such as aluminum and stainless steel, a new dimension emerges. Through bending, folding, and cutting these surfaces into diverse forms, the reflections of space, objects, and light are transformed—constantly shifting and appearing anew. An intriguing interplay emerges between abstraction and the reconstructed portrayal of reality.
The design concept allows us to not only work on a design product level, but to also integrate tailor made designs in space. Don’t hesitate to contact us for custom inquiries.
