NGV and Studio Sabine Marcelis launch limited-edition mirrors for 'Cartier' exhibition

The National Gallery of Victoria has teamed up with Studio Sabine Marcelis on a limited-edition design object tied to its 'Cartier' exhibition. Announced in the NGV’s design store newsletter, the collaboration takes the form of iridescent mirrors created in celebration of the exhibition, with each piece signed and numbered by the artist.

The mirrors are being issued as an edition of 15, placing the project firmly in the small-run design and collector market rather than a standard museum souvenir line. According to the NGV, the works are available both in-store at NGV International and online, extending the exhibition’s commercial reach beyond visitors on site in Melbourne.

The collaboration adds Sabine Marcelis’ name to the NGV’s wider retail program around the exhibition. The same newsletter promotes a range of objects inspired by 'Cartier', indicating that the design store is being used to translate the visual identity of the exhibition into a series of purchasable items. Within that context, the Marcelis mirrors are presented as the limited-edition highlight.

Marcelis, whose studio is identified in the NGV material as Studio Sabine Marcelis, is represented in the newsletter by a portrait photograph credited to Valentina Voss. The email does not provide further artist biography or detail about the mirrors’ materials beyond describing them as iridescent, so the release is notable primarily for the direct collaboration and the editioned format.

The NGV’s own captioning connects the product to '2026 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces®: CARTIER', and notes that the exhibition is on display at NGV International until 4 October 2026. The design-store images bundled with the newsletter also document the retail presentation of the exhibition range, underlining how closely the shop offer is being integrated with the museum’s current blockbuster display.

The newsletter itself comes from the NGV’s eNews service and includes the museum’s Melbourne contact details, confirming the retail launch as part of an institutional communication rather than an independent design release. For visitors and collectors, the key facts are straightforward: an edition of 15, signed and numbered by the artist, sold through NGV International and online, alongside the museum’s 'Cartier' exhibition range.
