“I think perfection is ugly.
Somewhere in the things humans make,
I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.”

― Yohji Yamamoto



Elisa Strozyk creates unbelievable textures and shapes by attaching geometric pieces of wood to soft wool, which she aptly labels as “Wooden Textiles.” The result is a gorgeously subtle, flexible piece of material that can hold its shape with the stiff support of wood.

“Wooden Textiles” convey a new tactile experience. We are used to experience wood as a hard material; we know the feeling of walking across wooden floors, to touch a wooden tabletop or to feel the bark of a tree. But we usually don’t experience a wooden surface which can be manipulated by touch.

“Wooden Textiles” is a material that is half wood-half textile, between hard and soft, challenging what can be expected from a material or category. It looks and smells familiar but feels strange, as it is able to move and form in unexpected ways.
