About Mare
Mare was founded by Manon de Vlieger. Manon has been active as an interior designer and textile developer for many years. It soon became apparent that her broad network of manufacturers went perfectly with her interior design clientele. Every quarter she made her rounds in Southern Europe visiting the most beautiful studios. Her good relationships and smart designs allowed her to develop small series of rugs for special customers. As demand grew, it became increasingly logical to start a brand, to do justice to the craft of its network, and to provide more customers with the search for rich and functional rugs that, as Manon distinguishes itself, are part of a total interior.
Manon (1988) lives and works in The Hague. The forests, the dunes, the rich historical architecture, the beach. All this is the main source of inspiration for her creations. Especially when a creative solution is required, it helps to work from a clear framework. For Manon, this is her immediate environment, which is mainly dominated by the beach and sea; il mare. It is the natural references, earthy colors and rich compositions that ultimately turn her rugs into objects.
