Sophie Malbranche – another French enchantress and unparalleled master of working with metal. In the world of design, Sophie gained fame through a special technology for producing decorative fabric: she weaves steel threads and coats them with various metals, transforming hard alloys into luxurious textiles.
Sophie's metallic fabrics are used to adorn elevators, lobbies, windows, ceilings, and are used as curtains, panels, partitions, and even sculptures!
This fabric is ideally suited for both interior design and exterior decoration – made from stainless steel, it is resistant to oxidation and fading and can take any shape. Sophie tirelessly experiments with light, color, and textures, constantly expanding the selection of patterns and shades.
However, the possibilities of metal fabric are not limited to the choice of pattern: as an element of interior design, it changes its pattern and level of transparency depending on the lighting and over time.
The production of metal fabrics, which were once the fruit of the artist's handiwork, is now industrialized, which does not prevent Sophie from creating custom panels, hand-embroidering the fabric according to the client's wishes.
Sophie Malbranche’s metallic fabrics have been repeatedly awarded by design professionals for their innovative nature, and products using them adorn numerous boutiques, hotels, and restaurants not only in France but around the world.
