At Claisse Architectures, Benjamin Debacker, Liliane Knopes, and Olivier Vitry believe in creations whose balance and elegance endure over time. They seek to initiate a dialogue between objects and the buildings that host them. Their work has already been featured in leading publications including DOMUS, DI INTERNI, FRAME, ELLE Decoration, and AD, among others.
Meanwhile, Annie Delvenne (textile designer, stylist, and curator) has forged a singular international path. Her practice is rooted in a deep reflection on materials: their histories, their uses, and their transformations. Guided by a dual sensitivity to both art and heritage, she creates a dialogue between memory and innovation, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary approaches. Each piece emerges from the encounter between the rigor of technique and the fluidity of a modern vision.
In 2022, Olivier Vitry crossed paths with Annie Delvenne. Their connection was immediate, leading to a bold collaboration: uniting chiseled aluminum with pleated textiles. Annie brought her mastery of pleating and metal engraving, where pleats unfold in supple volumes and metal becomes a surface to pleat, engraved as one might weave a thread. For his part, Olivier continues to pursue innovative techniques, refined forms, flexibility, and rare expertise to bring singular creations to life. Together, by celebrating textiles and their transformation in metal, Annie Delvenne and Olivier Vitry explore the synergies between materials, crafting works that transcend the traditional boundaries of design and textile art.
