In cooperation with Vitra Design Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou, C.I.R.E.C.A. (Centre International de Recherche et d’Education Culturelle et Agricole) has been putting on an international summer academy at Domaine de Boisbuchet since 1996. The international summer workshops are offered from July through mid-September and the courses are led by renowned designers, architects and artists who live and work together with the participants for a length of six to ten days. In this current edition of Boisbuchet Workshops CuldeSac and Studio Marisol will be using human hair as their working and inspirational raw material. The main goal is to research, design and build a project by using cutting, shape, fixing, weaving, teasing, textures and colour. But…how could these treatments have influence on design products? This is one of the many questions that emerge in this unique workshop where hair’s properties (versatility, resistance, structure, aesthetics, colour and light) will be given to newly created objects of design.

Hárgreiðslur + prjón


"We couldn’t do a knitwear round-up of New York and London without talking about the incredible hair styles that accompanied Thakoon’s collection. The delicately woven styles were created by Odile Gilbert, Kérastase Paris’ lead hairstylist. Inspired by the Kenyan Maasai tribe’s ornate Rococo period, Gilber woven patterned and knitted Peruvian fabrics into tight chignons and buns. Although maybe not intended to add insulation, this is some of the most innovative and exciting knitwear from the whole season."
