"I've always loved how textiles can transform a space. They soften it, add warmth, provide shade, and give expression, colour and identity. The room exhales!

Astrid is a Swedish textile manufacturer, and I was invited, along with other designers and creators, to work with leftover textiles, transforming them into unique and innovative objects.

Craftsmanship, innovation, and reuse were our focus. We aimed to highlight the versatility of textiles—whether as practical solutions or as essential elements of beauty and aesthetics—and created the Astrid Creative Space.

Together with Lisa Edwards, I designed sculptural lamps and pleated draperies that blur the line between art and function. Light and textiles interacted to create an atmospheric, dynamic spatial experience. Our large-scale pleated fabric lamps and drapes combined transparency and density, offering both sculptural beauty and practical function.

These pieces showcased how textiles can shape atmosphere, enhance aesthetics, and elevate the functionality of any space—whether in public environments or private homes."
