Chain
as Cloth

Natalia Fedner sculpts light and shadow from her patented stretch-metal textile — thousands of hand-linked metal chains transformed into luminous vessels, canopies, and wearable art. Each piece is engineered like couture and finished like sculpture: malleable, radiant, alive. This is the work beyond the runway — the art practice at the heart of the house.
