Mabel Pols is a 35-year-old artist and designer whose work bridges the worlds of functional art and decorative design. With a background in fashion design and a passion for interior spaces, she creates objects and paintings that reflect her distinct perspective on form and material. Her creative process revolves around contrasts, inspired by the rhythms of daily life in nature with her young family juxtaposed against the vibrant city life she experienced for half of her life. This duality — calmness and the serene nature versus bustling urban energy — feeds into her art. A contradiction that is a consistent theme in her work, manifesting in pieces that balance opposing forces—soft and hard, organic and structured.

Material holds a dominant role in her process, often dictating the creative direction, as she allows its inherent qualities to shape her artistic decisions.
Pols’ academic foundation in Design Cultures further informs her practice, enabling her to thoughtfully integrate elements of both design and art. Her experience in fashion is evident in her attention to texture and structure, while her love for interiors drives her to create pieces that feel both personal and spatially resonant. Whether working with fabric, wood, or metal, Pols allows each material to speak, guiding her to explore new possibilities. Her work invites audiences to engage with the contrasts that define her creative world, from the natural to the designed, the delicate to the robust.
