SILVER WAVE is a trademark and marketing concept created and launched by MARLEX for an elegant line of adult design products based on the superb artwork of Georges Remi, a well-known Belgian marine painter and nephew of the worldwide famous cartoonist Hergé (creator of Tintin). Working in his uncle's studio for a few years, he acquired a sophisticated line drawing technique and a unique style featuring ocean themes that inspired MARLEX to launch an elegant licensing program including : bed-linen, wall coverings, a full range of stationary products, calendars, photo albums, writing instruments, gift items, porcelain...
To promote the licensing program, MARLEX sponsored a "Silver Wave" sailing boat and participated in the famous 24 Hour International Newport Sailing Regatta (nearly 100 boats participated).
