Her work is led by exploring the life of products and raw materials and driven by curiosity, field studies and cross-disciplinary research. The investigations cover a broad range of typologies, including materials, processes, products, spaces and exhibitions, materialized through extensive experimenting, sampling and prototyping. The research results either in the record of a process itself or in a commercial product, encouraging a deeper understanding of the materials and products that surround us.

The Black Sheep of the Wool Industy

A research project investigating the possibilities of European waste-wool by exploring a new production process: automatic felting. The resulting jacket illustrates the potential of this technology, as well as taking advantage of the natural properties of wool, turning it from a burden into a valued raw material.
