Profile

A textile designer and weaver, Léna Perraguin is a graduate of ENSCI-Les Ateliers in Paris. After gaining experience in both artisanal and industrial textile sectors, she founded Studio Impressif in 2018.
Based in Aurignac, at the foot of the Pyrenees, the studio is dedicated to research into materials, at the intersection of fine craftsmanship, experimentation, and natural fibers. There, Léna Perraguin creates custom textile pieces for luxury brands, interior designers, and artistic projects: decorative elements, upholstery fabrics, room dividers, and headboards. 
Her work relies exclusively on manual techniques of hand-weaving and braiding, which she adapts and reinterprets based on traditional skills such as basketry and cane work. Material is at the heart of her approach, with particular attention paid to textures, volumes, and the sensory qualities of fibers.
Committed to a responsible approach, she prioritizes natural materials sourced from local supply chains—notably wool, linen, hemp, and rye straw—in collaboration with small French producers. This exploration stems from a desire to highlight artisanal skills and rethink their place in contemporary design.
Straddling tradition and innovation, her pieces explore a sensitive textile language, sometimes enriched by collaborations with blown glass, giving rise to compositions where transparency, brilliance, and material interplay.
