Overview
The Marcel collection, designed by Katharine Pooley for THG Paris, reinterprets Bauhaus heritage through a contemporary design language defined by subtle lines and a signature interplay of offsets. Each piece balances form and function and introduces wood detailing into THG Paris creations.

Designer
Katharine Pooley is an internationally recognized designer whose projects prioritise considered detail and architectural references. Her approach combines travel‑inspired influences with controlled proportions to produce a distinctive design vocabulary.

Modernist Heritage
The collection draws on the legacy of Marcel Breuer and the Bauhaus, where structural logic and functional clarity guide form. Marcel translates architectural references into streamlined silhouettes that emphasise tension and simplicity.

The Sketch of a Vision
From initial sketches, Marcel explores a measured balance between structure and softness. The design process translates modernist concepts into fittings that echo architectural lines while remaining suitable for domestic bathroom and kitchen contexts.

The Introduction of Wood
For Marcel, THG Paris integrates responsibly sourced wood for the first time. The timber elements add a warm, tactile dimension and required adapted manufacturing techniques to meet bathroom performance and durability standards.

Visuals and media
The product page includes multiple photographs of the collection and a presentation video showcasing the design intent and application examples.
