The unique craftsmenship of Marcus' work started with a workshop, as he had a large piece of wood I wanted to turn into a table. His wife hated it, so he rented a studio, put a couple of paintings on the walls, added some smaller pieces, and the workshop began to take on a life of its own. We first opened the gallery in June 2021, and one person we invited to the opening bought virtually everything, so we had to shut down and create more pieces.
Marcus started a jewelry company in 2009 in Hong Kong and then moved his studio to Indonesia in 2014 with the aim of creating specialist one-off pieces. I’m the designer, working with painters, sculptures and wood carvers to visualize and sketch out what we’ll create. We’re particularly skilled in metalwork – everything you see in the gallery has a metallic element, and I work with some really talented silversmiths and goldsmiths. The craftsmen I work with understand my expectations and the need for quality. I’m constantly impressed by their skills: they’ll take a lump of wood and make something amazing out of it.
