Inspired by the Craft Nouveau series from @trameparis, this is a place to share ideas and developments at the intersection of craft, generative art, design, and technology.

During Art Blocks Weekend in Marfa, three new @trameparis collections based on generative technology demonstrated how code can be combined with traditional craft to bring digital artworks to life in exquisite ways... 🧵 1/7

A captivating mirror from @martingrasser's Portraits collection draws the viewer in toward its center, inviting a moment of contemplation.
A noble pursuit ❤️
Maison L. Drucker is one of the exceptional ateliers that @trameparis works with to bring artistic concepts to life.

The renowned Maison worked with NYC-based design studio Aranda\Lasch to produce “Enlace,” TRAME's new collection of generative bistro chairs.
The studio where @jeffgdavis's Optimism collection for Craft Nouveau was produced—Ateliers Loire—has been producing stained glass for three generations in a beautiful 19th century building where artists are invited to collaborate... 🧵
Woven Art, a Cultural Legacy

Born from generative code created by artist @mactuitui, TRAME’s Navette tapestries are woven on a Jacquard loom in the historical Aubusson region of France, known since the Middle Ages for its exceptionally high standards of craftsmanship... 🧵
Our French bistro chairs are in Le Monde!
TRAME has recently featured in LUXE magazine!
@trameparis had an amazing week at ICFF with partner Art Blocks Engine @artblocks. More photos coming next week!

Material Magic 🪄

Raw glass turns into beautiful panes of stained glass through an algorithm designed to fit material constraints.

TRAME will have not one, but TWO booths! 🧵
This quote by generative artist Benjamin Aranda (of NYC design studio Aranda\Lasch) gets at the heart of Craft Nouveau. Such a beautiful inspiration for creating art:
