twofolde

A collaboration in the making for 20 years

We are Andy & Ben at twofolde and we create hand crafted tufted carpet cushions and wall hangings, alongside collaged linen cushions and homewares from our studio in Brighton.

Each piece references Ben's Mum's sketchbook work and drawings from the 1990's which we abstract through collage and stitch, making this a collaboration in the making for 20 years.

After graduating, we both worked in the fashion and textiles industry providing us with the knowledge and skillset to begin developing our tufting practice. After working in the fast paced industries, it was important for us to take a step back and begin working on our own slow, authentic and methodic processes. This was to try to minimise waste, but also to create work that we are both proud of and love.

Our work is very observational & often focuses on ideas of referencing the past whilst abstracting it to become something new.

The environment is at the forefront of our practice so it was so important to use all natural yarns and fabrics for everything that we create. We have discovered the best vintage fabric and yarn mills in the UK, which means that most of our materials are dead-stock from industry & give our pieces their unique finish.
