Victoire de Brantes

Designer

By exploring the archives and traditional techniques of the Atelier Vastrakala, I intend to question and redefine the role of ornamentation today, combining heritage with innovative materials. The objective is to create a new form of embroidery that integrates into our interiors, providing both functionality and beauty.

VSB (Victoire de Brantes) is a multidisciplinary French designer based between Paris and Provence. She lived and studied in India, Italy and the Netherlands, where she graduated from the Humanity and Wellbeing department of the Eindhoven Design Academy in 2022. VSB is driven by a passion for materials and colours as a mean of connecting with our everyday environment. VSB has created collaborative protocols with different artisan communities, using design as a tool for dialogue and empowerment. She seeks to understand the singular context around specific colours and materials, always emphasising the sensory tangibility of the object. VSB's approach to design combines material research with poetic storytelling to bring her concepts to life.
