Marjan van Aubel

Marjan van Aubel grad­u­ated from the Royal College of Art in London in 2012 and founded the Marjan van Aubel Studio in 2017. The award-winning inno­v­a­tive solar design prac­tice aims for a posi­tive future by inte­grating solar energy into daily life through the combi­na­tion of sustain­ability, design and tech­nology.

The Dutch designer creates lasting change through solar design, inte­grating solar power seam­lessly into our envi­ron­ments such as in build­ings and objects. She thus pursues the goal to make solar power more acces­sible for everyone. Marjan van Aubel has collab­o­rated with global grands such as Cos, Timber­land and Swarovski with the aim of accel­er­ating the global energy tran­si­tion to solar. One of her most notable projects is the solar roof of the Nether­lands Pavilion at the World Expo 2020 in Dubai.

Her works are part of the perma­nent collec­tion of some the world’s most renowned museums such as the MoMA (New York), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Vitra Design Museum (Weil am Rhein), Bijmans van Beuningen Museum (Rotterdam), The Montreal Museum of Art (Montreal) and National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne).
