White Braid Sweeping Platter with Dancing Pink Feathers

Take your racing style to the next level with the White Braid Sweeping Platter with Dancing Pink  Feathers. Inspired by birds’ flight patterns and paths, shifting and changing with respect to the currents.

I’ve chosen vintage braid because it has been a sustainable defining feature throughout my collections — reflecting my love of incorporating a vintage material into a contemporise design. Using over 20 metres of 2 cm wide vintage braid, wired and hand sewn, this design moves beyond the traditional circular form. Raised arches, overlapping layers, and openings on both the top and underside reveal different views from every angle. The structure infuses texture, depth, and movement—inviting light and shadows to play across every curve.

To further echo bird flight, I’ve hand dyed turkey feathers in soft blush to pink hues —dye, cut, sliced, shaped, and varnished — adding lightness, movement, and a whisper of wings caught in flight.
