MARION FORTAT
Born in France and based in Copenhagen, Marion Fortat creates
thoughtful, functional objects for the home, with a particular focus
on tableware, glassware and home accessories - pieces shaped by
everyday use and a lasting presence. Specialised in glass design, she
graduated from the Institute of Product Design in 2009 at the Royal
Danish Academy of Fine Arts (KADK) in Copenhagen.
Her design process begins with the material - glass - and a
fascination with its behaviour. Drawing on her experience in
glassblowing and handmade techniques, she explores how the
material responds to form, light and the imprint of the maker’s hand.
Her practice spans the entire design process, from early concepts to
昀椀nished products, balancing aesthetic clarity with material integrity
across both handcra昀琀ed and industrial contexts. With a strong
passion for handmade products, her approach is rooted in a deep
understanding of materials and cra昀琀smanship.
