- Fanny is committed to preserving the rare craft of featherwork
- Her creations combine featherwork with furniture and sculpture
- She draws inspiration from the places she visits during her travels
Fanny Litzia's first encounter with feathers took place in Rio de Janeiro, where she was captivated by the dazzling feathered costumes of samba dancers, the vibrant colours of the feathers and the way they caught the light. “It was an aesthetic shock. At that moment, I knew this material would hold a special place in my life," she says. Today, Fanny's practice lies at the intersection of craftsmanship and experimentation. Drawing on traditional featherworking techniques, she engages in a constant dialogue with the material, exploring its strength, texture and luminosity. Paintings, compositions under glass domes, furniture pieces and bespoke creations come to life in Fanny's studio, where feathers are transformed into contemporary works of art.

INTERVIEW
I draw inspiration from both the past and the present. My travels, especially in India and Brazil, have shaped my personality and my view of the world. They form a kind of inner library from which I unconsciously draw inspiration when creating.
My connection to place is above all emotional. Featherwork entered my life in Rio de Janeiro, but every journey continues to feed my imagination. I do not reproduce places: they remain present through colours, rhythms and sensations.
Featherwork has taught me that some things cannot be rushed. The time needed for ideas, experimentation and even doubt cannot be controlled. Accepting this rhythm has helped me develop patience, focus and a deeper commitment to my work.
Passing on this rare craft remains essential. Another challenge involves ethical sourcing and growing concerns around animal welfare. New solutions will need to be found in the years ahead.
