Exploring materials

​

Transforming materials such as tulle and mesh are the basis of her designs. By exploring, changing and using them in unconventional ways Sofie creates art pieces that spark curiosity. Her three-dimensional work makes the viewer question the material and invites to take a closer look at the vibrant, sculptural work. All pieces are made by hand using a labor-intensive technique that is distinctive to Sofies designs. Her work is regularly exhibited in galleries worldwide. In 2023 she collaborated with Dior on a custom art piece.
