5 artistes tufting à suivre cette semaine

Every week, we bring you a selection of creators who have caught our eye. What do they have in common? They all explore the world of tufting from a unique perspective, whether through tufted rugs, objects, or wall hangings.

1. Diga Ruth

Based in Buenos Aires, Diga Ruth creates entire images with her tufting gun. Her works depict reclining figures, stylized faces, and symbols. Each piece resembles a painting where everything is in dialogue: shapes, colors, and textures.

2. Moino Studio

In Brittany, Moino Studio creates handmade tufted pieces for the home: rugs, of course, but also mirrors, boxes, and everyday objects. The aesthetic is soft and organic, inspired by natural shapes and muted colors.

Each object is made with patience and simplicity. Nothing is overdone, but everything is carefully crafted. It’s a lovely way to bring handmade pieces and tufting into everyday life.

3. Camilla Iliefski

Camilla Iliefski is a designer and teacher in Sweden. She uses tufting as a visual medium in its own right. Her rugs resemble abstract compositions: large blocks of color, clean lines, gentle curves. Her work has real graphic rigor, but also a sensitivity to materials.

4. Maja Michaelsdotter

In Malmö, Maja Michaelsdotter creates textile artworks that play with symbols, bodies, and emotions. Fragmented faces, animals, hybrid objects… Each piece is a tableau of wool, expressive and rich in detail.

5. Itsy0r

Itsy0r’s style is decidedly pop. It features faces, logos, and objects inspired by the internet, all styled in a flashy palette. Each piece is like a textile illustration: direct, effective, and funny too.

Tufting, an endless playground

These five artists show just how rich and personal a form of expression tufting can be. Whether it takes the form of a rug or an object, this technique offers endless possibilities.

Whether you’re just starting out with your tufting gun or are already creating, these worlds can enrich your own practice, inspire you, or simply broaden your perspective on what a rug can express.
