“I wanted since a long time to bring my sketches to life. I practiced painting for a time, but with tufting—
relatively simple to approach but very demanding in terms of finishing—I discovered a technique that allows
for playing with reliefs, textures, and involving the whole body.”
Based in Paris, Faustine de Longueil is a French textile artist whose preferred medium is the rug. On the wall or on the floor, she conceives it as a work of art in its own right. Ex- art director and freelance graphic designer, she discovered tufting during the autumn 2020 lockdown and instinctively began a career change with the desire to give life and body to her drawings. From her Parisian studio, she develops work at the intersection of craftsmanship, graphic design, and contemporary art.
Her creations are distinguished by their graphic aesthetic, marked by geometric shapes, plays on symmetry, lines, and abstract compositions. She claims the influence of Swiss architect Mario Botta, for his formal rigor and his play with full and empty spaces, as well as that of French graphic designer Étienne Robial, and hismodular visuals. Working exclusively with 100% French wool, from the Fonty spinning mill, a century-old company labeled as a Living Heritage Company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), Faustine makes a deliberate choice and pays particular attention to sustainable materials, short supply chains, and ecological impact.
Favoring unique pieces and made-to-order work, Faustine’s creations are conceived in a sensitive relationship to space and light, where the codes of graphic design blend with textile art. The rug thus becomes a habitable surface where the softness of the material is combined with the rigor of forms, and regains a central place in our contemporary interiors.
