Sandra is known for her morphing designs, art, collectible objects and bold interior design. With her fascination for nature, she creates collectibles telling stories. Her story and that of humans and human nature.
The collectibles by Sandra range from glass vessels to tapestry, a mesmerizing pendant where glass and textile is brought to life in an enchanting mix and her wall coverings. They all appear to be morphing or on the move.

The unique messmerizing paint line by Sandra Keja Planken for Greenpaints is suitable for wall and canvas. For artists, designers, architects, hotels and private individuals. In this way, together with us, they choose a healthier and green paint form.
The MESSMERIZING line is not only beautiful but also healthy, affordable and sustainably responsible. The biobased collection presented during DDW has, in addition to visual and sustainable plus points, also an additional healthy component. With this biobased collection based on renewable natural raw materials, such as plants, trees and crops, we ensure a healthy indoor climate. In this way you create a MESSMERIZING curiosity space with a finish and content that focuses entirely on the present, past and future.
