Recycled textiles and material identity
PI-PA chair
Upholstered with textiles recovered from local businesses, PI-PA is a modular chair with two functions: a secret mirror on one backrest and a double hanger on the other. The same piece changes use without changing shape.
- Secret mirror in the backrest
- Double hanger and steel frame
Fashion accessories
The recycled handbags
“Your trash my treasure.” Sequins hand-cut from recycled plastic bottles; the red ones dyed with alcohol-based ink. The shape comes from the pearl: an organic bag with a magnetic closure, 3D modelled and printed.
- Sequins from recycled bottles
- Magnetic closure, 3D modelled
Spatial and visual design
The window display
A window display built from 3D-printed parts and thermoformed replicas. Every model was hollowed out and made as light as possible, because they were hung on a curtain.
- Hollow 3D-printed parts
- Thermoformed replicas
Human interaction and ergonomics
The steering wheel
Steering wheel for a Citroën city car, aimed at users aged 30 to 39. The research focused on the most ergonomic hand position and on legal requirements: eco-leather, airbag, customisable interior fabric and thumb-reach controls.

About
Industrial designer and artist
I work between object and body: furniture, textile accessories and dresses. I am interested in material that already exists — textiles from local businesses, bottles, offcuts — and in what it can become again.
Trained in industrial design, with practice in 3D modelling, printing, thermoforming and sewing. The red thread is not a metaphor: it is the material I use to sew, join and tell stories.
