She produced a temporary installation titled "Swivel" in St Giles Square in London for the 2022 London Design Festival.[17]

In 2022, the Vitra Design Museum staged "Colour Rush! An Installation by Sabine Marcelis" in which she reorganised the approximately 400 pieces held in the Schaudepot[18] exhibition warehouse collection by colour.[19]
