Sophie Guyot Objets Textiles

'Sophie Guyot builts its approach to textile design by querying the relationship between material, color and function. She learned in high school Diderot in Lyon, at Winchester University (UK), with Mauritanian dyers, and with Anne Rieger, a french master craftswoman dyer. In the studio on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse in Lyon, she creates silks, ornaments and crafts textile objects in a contemporary style. Collections are organized around two complementary lines. SO PLICATURE is the exclusive line of designer. This is a traditional and timeless collection that varies with the seasons by the interplay of materials and colors. It consists of unique pieces and small series. The work of transformation, including pleating needle and dyeing, is made entirely by our team in Lyon's workshop with white or raw silk. SO LUGDUNUM is the second line, designed, engineered and crafted in Rhône-Alpes. It is produced in collaboration with manufacturers. To complete its collection, sophie selected some accessories "Made in France". Temporary exhibitions are also organized to defend the work of textile artists and craftsmen. The studio also works with designers and institutionals : textile design, fashion design, design, screen printing, dyeing, art direction. Sophie has taught since 2001 at the high school La Martiniere-Diderot and conducts research workshops. She was awarded the Young Designers Contest of Ateliers d'art de France in 2004.
