In this process, Marcel Wanders defies design dogma, preferring instead to focus on holistic solutions rather than the technocratic. In this universe, the coldness of industrialism is replaced instead by the poetry, fantasy and romance of different ages, vividly brought to life in the contemporary moment. www.marcelwanders.com

What a week in Prague! The 28th edition of DesignBlok, Prague International Design Festival brought together more than 300 designers, studios, brands and guests from the Czech Republic and abroad. This year, LIGHT was the central theme, explored as a symbol of knowledge, truth, hope and life. Across Prague’s exceptional venues, exhibitions, installations and conversations explored how light shapes our perception and emotions. It was a celebration of design in all its forms, where material, technology and imagination met.

On 8 October, Marcel Wanders received the DesignBlok Award for Outstanding Contribution to Global Design, recognising a career that has continually challenged the boundaries of contemporary design. From the iconic Knotted Chair to his work for Moooi and his projects in lighting and interiors, Marcel has brought imagination, craftsmanship and emotion to the heart of design. His creations remind us that objects can do more than serve a purpose: they can inspire us, connect us and give meaning to everyday life. The award celebrated this enduring belief and the impact of his work across the world.

Thank you, DesignBlok, for this amazing award!

Every Wonderland needs a beautiful gift, and the Liposome Gift Box places one at the centre of the story. Marcel Wanders surrounds Decorté’s skincare ritual with a purple ribbon, charming flowers and details that suggest beauty, hope and a world just beyond the familiar. Inside, the set brings together Decorté’s Liposome Advanced Repair Cream, Liposome Advanced Repair Serum and Youth Power Essence Lotion, centred on the brand’s Multilamellar Bio Liposome technology.

The cream is created to give skin the appearance of having enjoyed three extra hours of sleep, while the new lotion combines black koji fermentation extract with Decorté’s beauty water. Marcel gives the gift box its own character, making the act of opening a skincare gift feel like unlocking something special. A ribbon, a key, a little mystery, and suddenly the everyday ritual has found its place in Wonderland.

For more than fifteen years, Marcel Wanders has created a special holiday coffret for Decorté almost every year, turning an annual beauty ritual into an occasion for imagination. This year, Alice in Decorté Wonderland gives the tradition a new twist, with a coffret filled with colour, sparkle and the captivating spirit of Wonderland.

Bilberry and white strawberry extracts accompany limited edition shades created exclusively for the coffret, bringing a luminous finish to the skin and complexion. But Marcel’s Wonderland is always about more than what first catches the eye, with familiar objects transformed through unexpected details and a strong sense of fantasy. The coffret becomes a little world of its own, where colour feels magical and beauty takes on a new kind of radiance. Alice has opened the door, and this time the invitation is to see what is waiting on the other side.

Marcel Wanders has given Wonderland a new address: Alice has found her way into the beauty world of DECORTÉ. And Wonderland begins with a question: what might we find when we unlock the door?

Born from the unique collaboration between Marcel Wanders and Decorté, Alice in Decorté Wonderland brings together the Holiday Coffret, Liposome Gift Box, AQ Skincare Gift Box, this year’s Marcel Wanders Powder and Advent Calendar. Each design holds a different piece of this world, filled with keys, ribbons, flowers, curious details and the promise of something unexpected behind the next door. Alice becomes a charming guide through a world where skincare and make up meet imagination, craftsmanship and a little mystery.

With the umbrella for Marks and Spencer, Marcel Wanders brought that same instinct into everyday life. Created during the five year collaboration between Marcel and Marks & Spencer, the design gave an ordinary rainy day accessory a distinctly ornamental character. Rich graphic motifs, inspired by Marcel’s fascination with decorative patterns, transformed the canopy into something to carry with pride. Even the handle and small details received attention, turning touch into part of the experience. Design became something accessible, personal and beautifully unexpected.

The project reflected Marcel’s belief that good design should reach people. His Marks & Spencer collaboration produced nearly 500 gifts and lifestyle pieces between 2010 and 2015, bringing his distinctive vision to a much wider audience. The umbrella belonged to this world of everyday objects made memorable through detail.

Geisha takes the parasol somewhere even more personal and stylish. Created by Marcel Wanders for Symo Parasols, it carries the quiet mystery of Japanese tradition through a refined exterior and a hidden garden of stylised flowers beneath the canopy. A metal bow crowns the pole, recalling the obi of a geisha’s kimono, while the floral interior reveals itself only to those who sit beneath it. Marcel describes this attention to detail as the source of his signature surprise moments. Here, shade becomes a private world, reserved for the people gathered underneath.

From a distance, Geisha appears composed and restrained, while underneath it becomes rich, floral and quietly expressive. Marcel designed it with the delicate appearance he wanted, while ensuring the material could withstand the elements. It protects from sun and rain, yet its real purpose feels more poetic: to change the atmosphere of the place around it.

Some of Marcel Wanders’ most inventive ideas began with the most common objects. Wapper, created in 1989, is an early umbrella concept that we have never shown before. Marcel challenged the familiar problem of wind by opening the crown of the umbrella and allowing air to escape through specially designed vents. Above them, the Wapper element protects against rain while adding movement, shape and personality to the canopy. An everyday object suddenly becomes a piece of intelligent design, where function creates the opportunity for expression.

The idea was remarkably forward thinking for its time. Marcel imagined that the Wapper could change in form, number, colour and appearance, allowing umbrellas to become fashion accessories rather than anonymous necessities. The innovation was not about making the umbrella stronger by force, but about giving the wind somewhere to go. It is an early glimpse of Marcel’s instinct to question the obvious and find beauty in the solution.

Meet the new Egg Vase XL. An icon, amplified.The Egg Vase grows beyond its familiar proportions. Its soft and undulating silhouette began with one of his most unexpected ideas: a stack of eggs transformed into a porcelain vase. For Moooi’s twenty fifth anniversary, Royal Delft gives this celebrated design an extraordinary new scale, entirely handmade in its Delft atelier. The Egg Vase XL preserves the playful character of the original while making every curve more expressive and sculptural. Marcel describes the ambition behind his work beautifully: “Not timeless, but timeful design.”

For Marcel, this collaboration carries a deeper significance because it brings together two things that have always mattered in his work: a strong idea and the hands capable of giving it life. Royal Delft brings centuries of ceramic knowledge to an object born from imagination and joy. The result feels familiar and surprising at once, as though an old memory has suddenly grown larger in the room.

Delft Blue carries a particular place in Dutch culture. Its blue and white palette began with a fascination for Chinese porcelain and grew into a distinctly Dutch tradition, with Delft becoming one of its great centres of production. Royal Delft, founded in 1653, is the last surviving Delftware factory from that era, keeping this remarkable craft alive across centuries. Marcel Wanders and Moooi have long found inspiration in this heritage, bringing it into a new world of unexpected forms. The Delft Blue Vases became one of those encounters, pairing Marcel’s bold silhouettes with Royal Delft’s traditional craftsmanship.

Then came the Delft Blue Vases Black Edition. The palette became darker. The contrast became stronger. Gold details and powerful forms gave a centuries old craft a new presence. It was another chapter in a collaboration built on curiosity, craftsmanship and a shared love of the unexpected. And this time, this iconic cooperation returns in a different form.

What can a chair create in our own little world? The Loggia Lounge Chair High begins with a single woven surface that rises from the seat and curves around the body, forming a generous backrest without making the sitter feel enclosed. It holds you gently, while leaving the breeze, the light and the landscape free to enter.

This is the thought Marcel Wanders brings to the Loggia Collection: comfort can come from shape alone. There is no need for weight or excess when one continuous gesture can create both intimacy and openness. The result is a chair that gives you somewhere to be, without taking you away from where you are.
