Collaboration begins with listening, and we work closely with artists to understand the essence of a work, not to replicate it, but to translate it into woven form. Using jacquard weaving, we interpret image through structure, density, and material response.
Translation, not reproduction
Jacquard weaving allows for precise control at thread level. Through custom weave development, fibre selection, and detailed sampling, we convert artworks into textiles that hold depth, rhythm, and atmosphere.
Jacquard as a language
The Jacquard weaving technique enables complex patterns, extended floats, tonal shifts, and controlled light interaction. This technical range allows us to work across disciplines, from fine art to large-scale textile applications.
We partner with artists, designers, and institutions looking to explore woven translation. If you have a body of work you’d like to see interpreted through textile, we’d love to start the conversation.
