Capsule N°1 — Automne 2026
Five tapestries. One capsule. Hand-woven in wool, dyed to a mid-century palette that was never meant to whisper.
Five hand-woven panels that read autumn as geometry — the low sun, the bar of late light, the turning circle, the long silhouette. Designed in Paris, woven in wool dyed to a mid-century palette that refuses to be quiet.
Half-suns rising over a flat horizon
The first drawing of the capsule and the one everything else answers to. Four half-discs sit low on a warm ground, each cut by the horizon at a different height, so the eye reads them as one October sun tracked across a single short afternoon.
Bare trunks, counted in wool
Bars of unequal weight fall across the panel at a steady interval, the way a stand of bare trunks passes a car window — regular, never quite even. Oxblood carries the beat; mustard is the accent that arrives one count early.
The warp, drawn at the scale of a wall
Chaîne is French for the warp — the fixed threads a weaver builds against. Here the structure becomes the subject: interlocking links enlarged until the mechanics of the loom read as ornament, in the olives and clays of a hedgerow going over.
The year turning, deliberately off-centre
Rings expand from a point that sits low and left of where you expect it. The offset is the whole piece — a year that will not close cleanly, held together by a damson that only turns up for a few weeks each autumn.
Shapes read as shadow against the light
The closing panel inverts the capsule. Forms that were figures in the first four become silhouettes here, flattened into a forest green so saturated it behaves like a backlit window at four in the afternoon, when autumn has already taken the light.
Every panel is drawn flat, then translated into a cartoon the weaver works against from behind the loom. What arrives is the drawing, rebuilt one weft at a time.
Merino is dyed to order in small lots. Autumn's palette was already mid-century — ochre, rust, olive, oxblood — and we match those colours rather than soften them.
Between four and nine weeks on a vertical loom, depending on the panel. Each piece is numbered, signed on the reverse and shipped rolled with its hanger.
