I am Gaëlle Burcklé,
textile designer from France.
I am Gaëlle Burcklé,
a french Textile Designer.
I was born in Colmar ( France ) on the 27/01/1994, and I have passed my childhood near Lyon. After a BA in Textile Design in Brussels ( ARBA - ESA ), I have done a MA at ENSCI - les Ateliers in Paris in 2021.
I have a sociodesign approach which integrates a creative process of eco-design, combining innovation and natural process. I like to bring together essential and particularly relevant questions in our society today around health, gender and creation.
My work is mainly based on perpetual material researches. I like to transform elements, highlighting their intrinsic characteristics.
In this way, I create a universe of material, research, and concept, that I can build with others or by myself.
