Tenseur

In another life, I studied forces, deformations and equilibrium. Today, I build my structures with stitches. Tenseur was born from this dialogue between rigor and softness, between geometry and supple fabric.

The pattern

About Tenseur

Its square, repeating motif evokes perfectly controlled stresses, the symmetry of a system in equilibrium. It is a reassuring, regular, logical cardigan — but never rigid. It hugs the body the way a well-fitted mesh hugs a part under tension.

Designed for those who love clear constructions, Tenseur is a nod to my first love: mechanics. And perhaps, through it, you too will find beauty in precision.

LA BIEN AIMÉE “Felix” and “Soyeux” held together: 2 to 3 skeins of Felix and 3 to 5 skeins of Soyeux, or 1010 to 1880 m of each yarn depending on the size. Shown in size 7, in colorways “Smoke” and “Ciel d’Orage”.
