Felizia Berchtold
'Virtual creation with a material-led approach'
With ’The Fabric of Spaces‘ Felizia Berchtold links textile thinking with the creation of new digital worlds. Owing to pandemic, her final piece is neither tangible nor physical, but a thought process. When reaction is so vital, adaptability defines value.
In a series of spatial renders, Felizia explores how haptic understanding of virtual imagery is communicated, taking the lead from her unique, material-focused approach. As we retreat to digital spaces out of necessity, she asks what future digital landscapes and rituals can offer.
With a focus on wellbeing and retreat, Felizia’s vision centres around shaping human experiences; creating digital solutions to real-life needs. Reassessing digital tools allows her to develop design strategies for a broad range of spaces, including virtual waiting rooms, galleries and showrooms.
Felizia Berchtold creates and curates materials, objects and spaces.
As a designer across product, interior and textile, her cross-disciplinary insight shapes how she thinks about spaces; both physically and digitally. Felizia’s approach is led by extensive material and historical research. Through her work, she asks questions of contemporary cultural importance, drafting alternative narratives for modern living.
