Wool-working skills go back generations, but the companies that now work with synthetic fibres no longer have machines suitable for natural fibres. Wool-working is physical work and often done collectively. It questions our relationship to others, to time and to the elements. Here it was about diverting, increasing, truncating or amplifying these practices to envisage new pathways, tools and processes not used before for this material.

Leïla Bouyssou
A freelance designer who graduated from Ésad Saint-Étienne in 2023, Leïla Bouyssou studied human sciences before turning to design.
