Created by artist Sarah Espuete, Oeuvres Sensibles is a textile haven. Situated side by side, the Oeuvres Sensibles workshop and showroom are nestled just behind the main area of Marseille, on a cozy little side street opposite a bike repairs shop. Inside is a celebration of antique linens and slow-arts craft, all acting as a vehicle to bring people together.
The showroom, and Sarah's office space, feature stacks of textiles she has collected all over France and through various online auctions. At the dining table, Sarah shows us through her grandmother's doily collection, pointing out the care and skill of each technique used, an obvious, and personal, inspiration. Also on the table were ceramics made by her friends, indigo dyed pieces, and glass cutlery stands handmade by Sarah.
