Every piece begins with an idea, passes through the hand, and becomes a story. We work slowly — thread by thread, stroke by stroke — so that what remains carries the weight of where it came from.

Pair of hands
Four disciplines, one hand

Traditional technique.
Contemporary expression.
Cross-stitch motifs redrawn at architectural scale, stitched in madder red on hand-loomed linen.

Structure in cloth.
Softness in line.
Garments and panels cut by hand, finished with seams meant to be seen rather than hidden.

Pigment on surface.
Memory on wall.
Ornament painted directly onto plaster and wood, borrowing its grammar from embroidery.

One brief.
One object.
Commissions made for a single room, a single story, and never repeated.








The atelier
The work is slow on purpose. A motif is drawn, unpicked, drawn again. Patience is the real material — everything else is thread, pigment and cloth.
What is inherited is not copied. It is questioned, reduced, and carried forward as a personal language of detail and identity.
Discover the atelier


A motif is a record. We keep its structure and let its meaning move forward with us.
Nothing is outsourced to a machine that a hand can say better.
The back of the cloth is finished with the same care as the front.
A piece succeeds when someone recognises something of themselves in it.
