Chapter 05 · Atelier · Berlin-Mitte
The Studio
Not an “about us”, but a visit: to the table where sketches become patterns and fabric becomes form.
Rooms you
can wear.
Process
From line to piece.
01 · SketchesThe floor plan
Every piece begins like a building: with a line on paper that sets space and movement.
02 · PatternsPaper
The pattern is corrected until it no longer contradicts itself.
03 · FabricsWeight
Few fabrics, chosen precisely: for drape, hand and what they do with light.
04 · ToolsPrecision
Chalk, weights, shears, rotary cutter. Tools that slow you down – and make you exact.
05 · PrototypesTrial
First in calico, then in the real fabric. What does not wear well does not enter the collection.
