Commissions

Whether you have an idea in mind or need help developing one, I will sketch it out and turn it into a unique textile artwork that enhances your living space by adding depth and stillness.

How it works

Bespoke

Each piece is carefully handcrafted, ensuring every item is truly one-of-a-kind and matches your space, your colours, and your story.

Raw materials

I thoughtfully curated raw materials for each piece. Wool comes mainly from Fonty, a French spinning mill certified as a Living Heritage Company.

Bio & Statement

With over 20 years of experience as an artistic director and designer, I decided to step away from the digital world and cofounded Studio Sovaje, a studio specialising in hand-tufted rugs. After two years of research and manufacturing, the studio completed a major project in June 2025, a 17 m² hand-tufted tapestry. Discover why this piece marks a turning point in my artistic journey.
