The story behind Atelier Marée

Atelier Marée was founded by two creative kindred spirits, Anne and Katrine, whose friendship and creative journeys have been closely intertwined since childhood. After completing their design studies at Designskolen Kolding and TEKO, they continued to grow and work together. Atelier Marée is a family-owned business based in Aarhus, where the duo combines their passion for craftsmanship and design with life as mothers of young children. Their vision is to create timeless products with personality that fit naturally into everyday life and make life's little moments even more special.

The name Marée is French for tide – a tribute to the Wadden Sea on Denmark's west coast, where Anne and Katrine grew up and continue to find inspiration. The movements of the tides have also left their mark on the designs. The distinctive wavy surface is inspired by the patterns in the sandy seabed that emerge as the water recedes.

Handmade design inspired by nature

Atelier Marée creates handmade products in porcelain and stoneware, where traditional craftsmanship meets timeless and personal design. The collection includes mugs, cups and serving accessories, all handmade in the brand's studio in Aarhus. The wavy surface gives the products a unique expression, and because each piece is handmade, no two items are exactly alike. Inspired by nature and driven by a love of authentic craftsmanship, Atelier Marée creates products that become cherished parts of both everyday life and special occasions.
