Luce Couillet, Textile designer and visual artist

Luce Couillet speaks a primal and universal language: that of weaving. She reinterprets this technique to create sculptures, objects and graphic compositions that strike a balance between suppleness and rigidity.

Weaving is an orthogonal manufacturing process. The workshop's singularity lies in playing with this asserted orthogonality by interweaving traditional yarns and less conventional materials.

In particular, Luce replaces weft threads with original shapes that she draws, cuts and assembles on the loom. She uses materials that are most often specific to the plastic and technical language of architecture (wood, metal, mirror, felt, glass). The result is hybrid materials and objects, somewhere between textiles and marquetry. These contemporary tapestries cover all the dimensions of an architecture, creating a complete décor. The compositions formed are abstract, allowing for anthropomorphic, animal, vegetable or mineral projections.
