Maëlis Ray

French designer Maëlis Ray was born and raised in Lyon, a city known as the birthplace of silk weaving and the jacquard technique. It’s no surprise, then, that Ray found her path in the world of textile art. After completing her studies in Roubaix, France, and earning a Master’s degree in textiles from the University of Borås in Sweden in 2023, she has developed a unique approach to woven design. Ray combines hand-drawn elements with intricate textures, creating textiles that are both practical and poetic, filled with small, everyday moments of joy and softness.
