The rope formations of her collection are inspired by the material qualities of rope and traditional techniques such as knitting and crochet.

These can be formed into a structured surface through knotting.

Knotting organises the continuous nature of the material through repeated movements and creates a level of complexity.

All the pieces have been individually hand-knotted by the designer in such a way that the resulting structures also enhance the nature of the rope.
