HANDMADE ARCHITECTURAL LACE BY MANTZALIN

LACE in a SPACE

Where bobbin lace intersects with contemporary design and architecture, MANTZALIN creates custom handmade works (functional screens, wall decorations, objects, you name it...).

Architectural Lace

Architectural lace is a unique and intricate way to transform the space, whether as decoration, functional element or an interactive installation. Each piece is greatly influenced by the context to create a site specific object that looks almost as if it grew in the space.

Handmade Spool Lace

All the works are entirely handcrafted (mostly) on the floor of the studio, weaving along the lace pattern in the same manner as the traditional bobbin lace, just much much bigger.

Lace Objects and Light

Computer aided design methods allow creating shapes previously impossible to conceive by hand. With the change in scale and use of construction materials and tools, the traditional two dimensional lace is brought into a third, spatial dimension.

Another Kind of Shoe Lace

Let's make lace COOL (again)!

“While lace has always been made and used as a flat piece of fabric, either as interior decoration or in fashion, I want to subvert this conviction. Following the principles of sustainable practice it is my intent to make lace again a relevant player in the field of contemporary design and to discard its stigma of benign little doily on a grandmother’s shelf."
