MEET THE MAKER

Fenna reinterprets techniques that create new appearances. A good example of this is research into new types of weaves. During the design process, she is guided by the material, which is the first impetus for the design of a new product or installation. She is fascinated by the connection between people and product, which she sees changing through the Internet and online shops and in which she sees a challenge: ‘It is no longer about selling a product. It’s about the experience and telling stories, where the senses are stimulated and the visitor is charmed.’
