Formally trained in both fashion couture and reupholstery, Sonia Laudet’s creative practice is a playful experiment between fine craftsmanship and her unique artistic vision. Sonia works out of her textile studio in Bayonne in France, where she has primarily focused on reupholstering vintage furniture since 2013. With a keen focus on circularity, Sonia uses discarded textile waste to create everything from furniture to lighting to more recently, fabric collages. Her collage work blends an eccentric mix of colour and shape and is narrated by her own interpretation of everyday experiences: catching eyes with a stranger in a waiting room, staring at the moon from your bedroom window. Using delicate curves and stimulating colour combinations to create what she refers to as poetic, functional and spontaneous design, Sonia’s work is a conscious ode to production and sustainability.
“My work is centered around restoration and circularity. I’m lucky to be raised with a sensibility towards nature, and I would like my work to encourage people to reflect before buying something new and to take the time admiring what the world already gives you, all around you”
Behind the Work
"The waiting room. A moment frozen in time, when time stands still. This is when we take the moment to observe those around us. We wonder who each other are, what are each other’s stories? It’s the idea that we would like to speak to each other, but we’re too shy to do so. Oh well, maybe next time.”
Sonia Laudet, “La salle d'attente”. 2020. Textile collage. 20 x 28 in. (50 x 70 cm).

"The moon is pink. The work alludes to the blissful mix of both confinement and euphoria one feels when sat at the window, looking up at the moon. The body blooms with absurd ideas; there’s a stream of subconscious thought in tandem with the time of the night when the moon casts a rare rosey hue.”
Sonia Laudet, “La lune est rose”. 2020. Textile collage. 20 x 28 in. (50 x 70 cm).

"The last drink. Vegetation, folly, self confidence, desire and love. The time of the night where the body blooms with absurd ideas, and laughter and melancholy flirt with one another.”

"The invite. This composition alludes to friends who are reunited with one another after a long absence. Together. Familiar forms speaking to one another, their colours and shapes compliment one another. There is laughter, poetry and an excitement to be close together again.”

"The elevator. The composition is a play on the indecisive encounters with a stranger in the lift. It’s a very strangely intimate moment: shy, a little cold but all the while pleasant. We smile politely at one another, but don’t give ourselves away too much. The movement of the lift creates a diversion, as displayed in the split grooves of the linen.”
Sonia Laudet, “L’ascenseur”. 2020. Textile collage. 20 x 28 in. (50 x 70 cm).
