Who are you?
Hello, I'm Fanja. I was born in France from Madagascan parents and now I live in the English countryside with my partner and our two boys. Working around the characters I have created is what I mostly do whenever I have time to.
Describe yourself in three words.
Open-minded, ex-smoker, quiet.
As a child you were?
Quiet and dreamy, I loved reading and making things, enjoyed the speed of roller skating, had fun playing records with my brother and sister and do crazy dances.
When you wake up in the morning...?
On a school day, mornings are always a rush and I'm lucky if I can even get a cup of tea. Part of the morning routine is to check the weather forecast before leaving the house.
When you go to sleep...?
When you go to sleep...?
I often think I should have gone to bed earlier.
What inspire you?
What inspire you?
Inspirations always come unexpectedly, usually a detail that has struck the eyes and that you can't help thinking about.
Your home is?
Your home is?
Small and full of imperfections but cosy. I like coming back home.
Tell me about your working space.
My working space is all over the place at home. My sewing space is a little corner niched in the kitchen area, it is a nice area filled by lots of natural light and near a big window. I also work on the kitchen table facing another window. Close by is a bureau where the laptop stands, it is good the laptop is out of reach when I do some sewing work so I don't find myself getting distracted by it.
What's your dream?
Travelling to places I've never been.
The oddest or funny thing you ever did?
Things I do are usually more embarrassing than funny to me, playing air guitar on stage in a London club many years ago was one of them.
Thank you Fanja.
In occasion of Knots Collective not only you'll find Fanja creations and a selection of vintage pieces hand picked by her, you will also find Fanja in person attending the pop up shop!Yay!
