Martens & Visser

Studio Martens & Visser crafts artworks, interior design pieces, and immersive installations inspired by the natural world and the elegance of physics. Established by Michiel Martens and Jetske Visser —both graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven— the studio blends art and science to create experiences that captivate and intrigue.

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.
