Sarah Espeute is a French artist-designer who treats decorative elements as sensitive pieces, œuvres sensibles.
From Sarah's Still Life collection, the Chat cushion captures a familiar, everyday scene: a cat curled in sleep, hand-embroidered in black cotton thread across a natural linen and cotton cover. A comforting, quietly drawn presence for any room.
Dimensions: 40 x 30 cm.
Linen and cotton cover [composition ratio TBC]. Kapok filling. Handmade in the atelier in Marseille, South of France.
ABOUT the MAKER
Sarah Espuete - Oeuvres Sensibles
Oeuvres Sensibles is the textile project of French artist and designer Sarah Espeute. Each creation is treated as a "sensitive work," an œuvre sensible. Depending on the design, her individual pieces are either completely hand-embroidered by independent artisans in Marseille or Cornely machine-embroidered in Marseille, using a hand-guided technique dating to the 19th century. The textiles are made from a mix of vintage French linen and cotton sheets, sourced from private homes across France and ranging from 50 to 100 years old, and carefully sourced new French fabrics. Each carries its own story, woven into the embroidered piece. At Tessuti, we offer these nostalgic pieces: each a unique blend of memory, material, and artistry.
