Marije Vogelzang is a Dutch "food", or "eating",[1] designer who focuses on how people design their food habits, ways and rituals.[2][3] She regularly works as a designer for organizations and a food industry consultant.[2] She became the head of the food department at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2014.[1] Her 2017 "Volumes" project focused on the design of eating devices which help eaters think their plates are fuller than they are to reduce overeating.[4][5]

FEED LOVE[6] and EAT LOVE BUDAPEST[7] are two of Marije's significant works. In both works, Marije Vogelzang designed a multimedia installation transcending traditional boundaries. It combines elements of sculpture, performance art, and interactive technology to create a heartfelt, immersive experience for the viewer. Their most notable feature is interactivity. Marije Vogelzang invites participants to interact directly with the artwork by feeding it various foods.

In both works, Vogel considers "feeding" as a universal language and explores the relationship between people and food, between people.[8] To be precise, food is full of emotional associations, and through the use of food, it has a direct effect on people's emotions. By combining food and storytelling in an interactive artistic way, the audience is immersed in the emotions and stories of the Roma women, thus provoking a reflection on the connections between different ethnic cultures.
