In our studio, every fiber matters. We restore with precision and intention, preserving fragility without erasing its story. Drawing from both Asian and European paper craftsmanship, delicate works are strengthened and prepared for their next chapter. The same hands that restore also create original art and design objects, where paper and thread meet structure and balance. Explore the work at your own pace.
About
Born in Antwerp in 1984, Stéphanie P.J.E. Poppe is a visual artist and paper restorer merging contemporary creation with traditional craftsmanship.
Stéphanie’s artistic journey is shaped by family textile heritage and formative travels to Japan, sparking a lasting fascination for Japanese craft and paper culture. Trained in art history and paper conservation, she restores and preserves fragile works using Japanese washi and kozo fibers. Her studio practice unites conservation and creation through material insight and East–West dialogue, exploring balance between urban and rural worlds where paper and thread carry memory and strength. In 2022, she was juried into the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts exhibition at the Salon des Beaux Arts of Paris in 2022. She also takes part in other art contests to continually sharpen technique and craft.
