Sofie Leenen is a designer and a maker exploring objects, furniture, custom design and research. Her work aims to shape traditional making methods more durable for the future.
The projects highlight crafts that are usually not visible or where knowledge of specific craftsmanship is even slowly disappearing. By researching the origins of development and to combine with modern innovations it allows to balance old and new possibilities within one object. The result is a bespoke and tailor-made design with a story. A significant part of these final objects is the study of materials and crafts, which often takes the form of archives, but also elaborate designs such as decorative objects, furniture, and interior textiles. She worked on projects such as: braided weave, seasonal curtains, frontal profiles, window scala and color behavior.
