Designed by textile designers Lobke Beckfeld and Johanna Hehemeyer-Cürten, who live in Germany, "Sonnet 155" uses fabric made from fruit skins and short cellulose fibers. Starting from research activities, the two graduated from their master's program this summer and established a design studio, currently preparing for series production. This time, we interviewed Lobke about the project's trajectory and their future outlook.
