Traditional crochet, often associated with table runners, doilies, and other domestic objects, is usually tied to functional patterns. By moving beyond these conventional forms, it becomes possible to explore new artistic possibilities.
After years of following classical designs, improvisation opens the way to spontaneous patterns that respond intuitively to rhythm, texture, and form. Each stitch transforms into a deliberate yet flexible gesture, contributing to compositions that are sculptural, dynamic, and conceptually rich.
This approach expands the perception of craft, showing that crochet can move from domestic utility to artistic exploration. By honoring tradition while embracing improvisation and innovation, these pieces invite reflection, creativity, and a renewed appreciation of the technique.
SMALL BASKETS
The idea of creating volume using plant fibers like hemp is a real challenge for crochet as a technique.
Moving away from traditional patterns and giving crochet a more artistic character, with a forward-looking perspective, is incredibly exciting. What really interests me is extracting the essence of crochet, the stitches themselves and combining them in such a way that when someone looks at the piece, they can’t quite tell what technique was used to create that textile artwork.
Here you can see small hand-crocheted baskets made with a 3 mm hook, combining 0.5 hemp fiber and 0.5 colored cotton threads. In this case, they measure between 6.5 and 7 cm in diameter and about 1 cm in height.
They’re available in various colors or in a single color, such as black. The idea is to create a textile installation, either as a wall piece or arranged horizontally across a large table.
These are handcrafted, one of a kind pieces. Each one has its own dimensions. They may look identical, but they’re not — it all depends on the material.
If you’re interested in creating a specific installation, we can talk about sizes and quantities based on your project.
Four volum set
It is interesting to explore the transformation of natural fibers into three-dimensional forms. By combining hemp and other plant fibers with hand-spun and recycled wool, sculptural pieces can be created that interact with space, texture, and light.
Vegetable fibers and threads offer unique textures and resilience. Hemp, for instance, provides structure and firmness, allowing the creation of small, precise shapes that hold their form. Cotton adds softness and subtle flexibility, while wool introduces elasticity and warmth, enhancing the tactile quality of the piece.
This set consists of four unique pieces, knitted with a size 3 crochet hook with polished black cotton and hemp yarn.
The approximate dimensions are between 15 cm in diameter and 11 cm in height for the largest piece, and the smallest is 11 cm in diameter by 7 cm in height.
