Rencontrez Elena
Designer
With a background in design and working in different agencies, Elena now thrives in a setting where her hands craft the narrative.
Her creative sanctuary now lies within the cozy, minimalist confines of her studio, where surplus materials are given a second wind.
Leather, rattan and textiles are her canvas, through which she crafts unique designs.
Her love for crafting isn't confined to her studio; it extends into the workshops she hosts. With a blend of knowledge, passion and a hands-on teaching approach, Elena not only inspires others to see the latent potential in surplus materials but also fosters a space for creative interaction and growth.
It was an absolute pleasure having Elena come to our office to run two basket weaving workshops, and we all really enjoyed it. Her patience and attention to detail ensure that everyone is well taken care of and that each step of the process is followed. She also encouraged creativity and taught us different waving techniques, so that by the end of the session, each basket had a completely different look which is great. It is great to see that the baskets that we made are being used at home in various ways. Such an amazing workshop!
