Upcycled textile wall panels

These upcycled textile wall panels are built from fragments of reclaimed fabrics and leather, arranged in a precise yet playful geometry. Stripes, animal motifs and woven textures meet in layered planes of warm orange, ochre and earthy tones.

Each piece is made from surplus textiles and upholstery samples, reassembled into a new visual rhythm that feels bold, tactile and quietly narrative. The process follows a circular design approach, giving discarded materials a second life within contemporary interiors.

The embroidered plants are not just decorative details. They are a part of the structural pattern that connects the four works within Tropic Grid.

This series focuses on geometric rhythm within reclaimed materials. In the related Patterns of Life series, this exploration moves toward organic structures and biophilic patterning.
