Design Philosophy and Approach
Amy Lewis is deeply influenced by her British-Japanese heritage, which plays a significant role in her design process. Her work often reflects a fusion of these two cultural sensibilities, with an emphasis on narration and storytelling. Instead of dismissing traditional craftsmanship for modern innovations, Lewis seeks to preserve and reinterpret historical textile techniques in contemporary contexts. Her mission is to bring joy to everyday life by highlighting the beauty found in the mundane, crafting textiles that transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Through her use of traditional crafts, she aims to create designs that engage multiple senses, evoking emotional and tactile responses that bridge the past, present, and future.
