Atelier Iris Nijenhuis

Iris Nijenhuis is an Amsterdam based textile artist known for her experimental shapes and structures. Through a self-developed technique, she transforms fabrics into laser-cut modular forms that are carefully assembled by hand, without stitching or glue.
This unique construction system combines artisanal craftsmanship and innovation, allowing each piece to move, adapt, be repaired, and change into countless variations.
Her creations range from bold wearable pieces to sculptural interior objects, each one meticulously assembled by hand like a puzzle.

With a focus on modularity and adaptability she invites audiences to reimagine how textiles can connect, evolve, and endure. Her practice reflects a meditative rhythm and a deep respect for materiality, balancing precision with play.
