hors-studio x Cécile Feilchenfeldt
'MYTILULA'

Recovering the forgotten weaving tradition of sea silk, the trio finds new potential for byssus, a fibre produced by the gland of bivalve molluscs. The process of dyeing and weaving results in reflective and absorptive qualities—an achievement that reminds us to reconsider the resources of the past when contemplating the challenges of the future.

Cécile Feilchenfeldt is an artist specialising in experimental and artisanal knit techniques. Hors-studio was founded by Elodie Michaud and Rebecca Fezard in 2016, repurposing waste and scraps from industrial and craft production. Michaud first studied under Feilchenfeldt at ENSAAMA, and subsequent collaborations earned the trio a litany of awards.
