CRAFTERS OF TODAY
Celebrating craftswomen and their work
Each handcrafted object we select in small editions carries its provenance and the crafter’s voice. Discover our thoughtful interview with Natália Otrubová, a textile crafter based in Finland, originally from Bratislava, and explore her collection of handwoven textiles and functional objects. With a background in product and industrial design, Natália’s practice has gradually moved towards weaving, where she explores the relationship between material, function, and the handmade process. Working with natural and reclaimed materials, she creates pieces shaped by traditional textile knowledge, careful labour, and a considered approach to material use and longevity.

Our selection brings together women crafters from across Europe working with ceramics, textiles, jewellery, and object making. Behind each piece is a person, a material, and a way of working shaped through time, skill, and care. We believe that supporting independent craft means strengthening communities, preserving knowledge, and creating closer connections to the things we choose to live with.

Handwoven tapestry by Elvire Debitus, created in the countryside of Brittany. Part of the limited series Right there, After the thai restaurant captures a quiet memory held between place, sensation, and emotion. Through abstraction and colour, it holds the trace of an experience that lingers softly over time. Rooted in the artist’s return to intuitive weaving, it offers a blurred and instinctive vision where colour becomes the main language and invites a gentle reflection shaped by one’s own memories.
