REST Studio, co-founded by Dominika Gacka and Julia Piekarska, alumni of the Fine Arts Academy in Łódź, Poland, is a testament to the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. At the heart of their work lies a passion for weaving, a discipline that they have elevated to an art form. The studio specializes in creating richly textured textiles, all handwoven with a focus on haptic qualities and the use of eco-friendly materials.

Their pursuit of beauty transcends the visual; it delves deeply into the tactile, bringing a unique sensory experience to each piece. Dominika and Julia employ a range of weaving techniques to craft sophisticated structures, which find their place in interior decor, furniture, and accessory design. Every project is meticulously woven by hand on traditional analogue harness looms, a nod to the enduring techniques of textile art.

A significant aspect of REST Studio's ethos is their commitment to sustainability. This is exemplified in their Restki project, an innovative endeavor to repurpose yarn waste into new materials. This project reflects their dedication to environmental responsibility, exploring the possibilities of creating interior objects from leftover yarn.

The creative journey of REST Studio is marked by serendipity, unexpected discoveries, and moments of inspiration. Their process is a deep exploration of how color, weave, and yarn type interact, with each stage of project development receiving the utmost attention. It's in this journey of creation where they find their greatest fulfillment, continually pushing the boundaries of textile art and design.
