Following her 2023 residency at the Foundation, which focused on the traditional Charentaise slipper, Florence Wuillai, a designer specializing in textile research and development in wool, linen, and hemp, continues her exploration of wool and its new technical potential.

As part of the project to design the new residents’ house at the Foundation, Florence Wuillai collaborated with sheep breeder Cécile Maisonnier to create a rug. More than just a decorative object, it is a landscape that outlines the grazing plan of the breeder—a symbolic way for the designer to connect the material with its origins. This rug weaves connections between the actors of the same region and sparks a conversation about our relationship with the objects around us.
