Résidences de l’Art en Dordogne – Pôle Expérimental des Métiers d’Art de Nontron et du Périgord Limousin

In collaboration with Ingrid Jobet, weaver 

The designers reinvented the lirette technique of weaving by using coils of recycled fabric used as tagging in the vineyards of New Aquitaine. The enormous frame version of the braiding enabled the production of these pixilated patterns. The design of the contour of the carpet refers to the shape of the leaves of wild orchids in the Périgord. A loom was created specifically for the piece with the collaboration of Ingrid Jobet.
