Flore Sivell (née Vignet)

Flore Sivell, studied Glass&Fine Art and Glass & Architecture at Central St Martin School of Art & Design in London back in 2000. After graduating she worked as a stained glass artist for more than 5 years, during which she finished several prestigious projects of stained windows for private homes, and in churches and libraries. She was interested in hand tufting and in 2008 she took several hand tufting courses and a year later she switched her art field to hand tufting, experimenting the technique her own way, and started her company Rectangle d’Or. This is how she describes the change:
“Handtufting allows me to create all kind of designs, with exclusively noble and natural materials such as pure wool and linen, thus bringing my passion for interior designs and handmade creativity together. After working with glass which is a cold and hard material but a delight for light, colours and transparency, I work now with a complete different texture, warm and soft materials, and a total different way of handling it, but still with the pleasure of playing with colours and shapes, and creating with and for people who like enhancing their interiors.”
