Persona Picks: Marie Jedig on Living Boldly and Choosing Bravely
Step into the vivid, ever-shifting world of Marie Jedig Ghaznawi, where playfulness and poise co-exist. Based in the heart of Copenhagen, Marie has become a recognizable presence—not only for her signature aesthetic but for the unapologetic authenticity that radiates through her content. With a background in performance and a present rooted in fashion, interiors, and visual storytelling, she draws from a spectrum of artistic references to shape her home and outlook.
Her style is layered, expressive, and self-aware: “I’m definitely the eccentric—maybe with a romantic rising.” That dual energy spills into every corner of her space. Color is not decoration, it’s language. Objects aren’t arranged—they’re cast in a narrative. Her home doesn’t follow a theme; it follows a feeling.
For Persona, Marie shares a curated selection of pieces that speak to her inner world—part dreamscape, part design diary.
01. Wilén-Jong’s Departed Side Table
“A poetic idiom,” she says—and the burgundy marble echoes that sentiment. There’s an emotional density in its presence. It’s sculpture, surface, and story at once.
02. Vincent Decat’s La Fleur Fanée
A favorite that feels pulled from a Miyazaki universe—“very fun, almost alive-looking.” It’s a delicate form that insists on attention, holding a strange energy that’s both whimsical and solemn.
03. BGGB Studio’s Arquà Manuscript Tapestry I
A nod to mythical creators and dreamlike storytelling, this textile evokes memories unspoken. For Marie, it’s a visual poem stitched in fantasy.
04. Elis Monsport’s Jack’s Vase
She calls it angelic, drawn to its retro silhouette and soft matte surface. It’s a quiet character piece—one that would settle beautifully into the colorful order of her home.
05. Pia Glassworks’ Self Dissolution No. 5
Eclectic and instinctively compelling. There’s no rationale—just attraction. That’s the kind of relationship Marie often has with objects. “Drawn to it imminently” is enough.
06. Evelina Kudabaite’s Giria Table Lamp
A piece of nostalgia in lamp form. Its playful form and gentle brown tones bring her back to moments spent picking flowers in childhood. There’s a sweetness in its shape—almost shy, but glowing.
Together, these six picks sketch a portrait of a person who lives with emotion on display and surrounds herself with objects that echo her sense of wonder. In Marie’s world, design is not about control; it’s about expression.
