Craft Process Studio

Immerse yourself in the step-by-step journey of creating modern eco-crafted pieces, from initial material selection to final finishing touches.

The Making Process

Each piece undergoes a carefully orchestrated process that honors traditional techniques while embracing sustainable innovation. Explore each stage of creation below.

1

Weaving

Traditional Dutch weaving patterns come to life using organic flax and recycled fiber threads. Each thread is carefully selected and positioned to create intricate designs that echo centuries of textile heritage.

Shaping

Hand-shaping techniques mold eco-materials into desired forms. Whether working with fiber-reinforced clay, compressed straw composites, or mycelium boards, each piece is carefully formed by skilled hands.
