From her Anjou farmhouse, Anne Corbière fashions curtains, cushions and artworks from her tactile fabrics, coveted by everyone from Chanel to Tiffany to British brand Ochre.
When textile designer Anne Corbière is working, she often thinks of her grandmother. "She was a weaver and I always loved seeing her at the loom," she says. "It was like an invitation to go off on a voyage - in a boat that people sat at and kind of rowed. It enchanted me."
Born in Oregon and now based in anjou, France, Anne Corbière is known for her intricate, hand-woven textiles - tactile and often diaphanous designs that were first used in couture fashion by the likes of Christian Lacroix, Balenciaga and Chanel. Since, they have been featured in interior designed by Peter Marino, Muriel Brandolini and Jacques Grange.
