Toyine

Toyine’s interest in weaving began while working as an interior designer with Peter Marino, who has been instrumental in guiding her to the next phase in her life. Thanks to him, Toyine discovered an amazing world of incredibly passionate, talented and devoted artisans. Falling in love with their creative process and passion, Toyine returned to Europe where she selected weaving as her medium of expression and founded her atelier in France in 2010, near Lyon, an area rich in weaving history. With no prior weaving experience, her first moments on the looms where very creative where error and imperfections led to discovery. Now, working with highly skilled weavers, she often tells they need to “unlearn” what they were taught and let the mistakes happen, but only to a point, she is also very exigent about the quality and the beauty of her work.

Background

Toyine’s interest in weaving began while working as an interior designer with Peter Marino, who has been instrumental in guiding her to the next phase in her life. Thanks to him, Toyine discovered an amazing world of incredibly passionate, talented and devoted artisans.

Now, working with highly skilled weavers, she often tells they need to “unlearn” what they were taught and let the mistakes happen, but only to a point, she is also very exigent about the quality and the beauty of her work.  

Signature style

Toyine conceives her creations as works of art, that are meant to enchant, and evoke memories, emotions and dreams, as they did for her when she created them. Her experiences, nature, art and food are her inspiration. Like a very curious explorer, she is always observing the world around her that she then translates into woven pieces that will adorn some of the most beautiful interiors and furnishings in the world. 

Showstoppers

Handmade in France by skilled artisans using the finest materials and techniques, Toyine’s cushions collection are the three-dimensional expression of the weaves. These enchanting sculptural pieces are characterised by their textural quality, unexpected colour combinations, radiance and material variety.
