ESTELLE BOURDET

is a Swiss-Swedish textile designer and hand weaver offering production, design and consultancy on textiles and materials for interior and product. She investigates the domestic environment by exploring the handcraft of textile making with a focus on analog weaving techniques and digitally processed motifs and patterns.  Estelle’s practice of hand weaving merges key ideas of domestic zones, inhabited spaces, the use of sustainable resources and the slow production making. Her work also aims to be a social and temporal recontextualisation of the handcraft of carpet making that exists in Sweden since the 18th century.
