Press review








Alexandra Ferdinande embodies the figure of a contemporary basket weaver anchored in her time. Trained in traditional techniques, she chooses to bring this know-how into dialogue with design and contemporary creation. Her workshop, Tressages Pas Sages, was born from a desire: to reveal the beauty of the emotions provided by nature to reconnect with it. Each project reflects her commitment to a creation that respects the material and is open to collaborations with artists, craftspeople, architects, decorators, and cultural institutions. Her approach is part of a constant quest: experiment, transform, invent. Basketry then becomes a poetic territory, capable of transforming spaces. Her precise and inspired gesture connects the hand to nature, craftsmanship to the art of today. Alexandra Ferdinande sees in each strand of wicker a promise of light, movement, and emotion. Her career testifies to the strength of a vision: to inscribe basketry in contemporary aesthetics and make it resonate as a living work.
