Emmanuelle JENNY

Emmanuelle Jenny

Textile design

Tasse à café n°1

Her work revolves around the notion of the loop.

The curved line recalls the one found in a lock of hair, in the shape of an arabesque, in the figure eight symbolizing infinity and renewal, in the undulations of a thread, in the roundness of a ball of yarn, or in the interlacing of words and speech.

She uses détournement as a way of reusing materials, signs, existing objects, or visuals for new purposes and/or entirely detached from their original meaning. In search of forms that generate an aesthetic language within ordinary things, she creates stylized and modern patterns with contemporary color combinations. Her travels infuse the motifs she designs with a vision from elsewhere.

The transversality of practices is highly present in her work, as is the way she approaches each new project.

In 2018, she founded the label Eugénie Design, marking a new creative turning point in her activity. She launched it in collaboration with Manon Hervé, freshly graduated from the École Supérieure d’Art et de Design in Orléans.

The identity of Eugénie Design is characterized by designer patterns featured on clothing and accessories for babies.
