Founded in 2021 by Rafael prieto and Loup Sarion, MARROW is an evolving design project, which emerged out of their dialogues around the object world alongside a desire to probe, play and think with the poetics of functionality. It is a workshop for metamorphosis, visual riffs and translations of form across timescales, inhabiting “design” as a threshold practice, where objects without use become scored, in various ways, in an aesthetics of activation.
MARROW’s first production is an ongoing edition of light sculptures made in hand-stretched fabric over shaped steel, each of which uniquely references and rescales bone fragments— residue lovingly collected from dinner parties—like anatomy for illumination.
