Craft Gardens explores textile, light and material presence as tools to shape atmosphere and spatial experience.
Each piece is conceived as a dialogue between ritual, matter and space — transforming interiors into lived experience.
EDITIONS & WORKS
BIOPHILIC ART. REGENERATIVE MATERIALS. SLOW CREATION.
At the heart of Craft Gardens lies a commitment to sustainability as artistic practice. Through biophilic design, regenerative and responsible materials, and a slow handcrafted process, each piece embodies an ethical approach to contemporary art and lighting. Textiles become living matter. Light becomes a dialogue with nature. Creation becomes care. Light becomes presence. Space becomes experience.
Craft Gardens collaborates with architects, curators and designers to create site-specific works and emotional environments.
