"Weaving light, thread, and steel — Fabienne Decornet creates vibrant spaces where transparency meets poetry."
Maison Fabienne Decornet is a contemporary French artist who explores the dialogue between glass, stainless steel, textiles, and paper through poetic, aerial installations. Trained in visual and textile arts in Brussels, she creates vibrant compositions that play with light, transparency, and movement. Her work has been exhibited internationally — including at Antica Namur — and she regularly collaborates with interior architects and institutions on bespoke, site-specific projects. Decornet lives and works in the Hauts-de-France region, drawing inspiration from its industrial and cultural heritage.
Maison Fabienne Decornet is a French visual artist whose work lies at the crossroads of textile art, contemporary sculpture, and poetic installation. Trained in both visual and textile arts in Brussels, alongside studies in contemporary dance, she developed a profound sensitivity to movement, rhythm, and material interaction. These disciplines continue to shape her unique artistic language.
Over the years, Decornet has developed a refined practice integrating glass, stainless steel (inox), textiles, and paper — materials she considers complementary and autonomous in their expression. Her creative journey began through collaborations with design and textile companies, and continued with independent research into material memory, light reflection, and fluid spatial arrangements.
Her aerial installations — symbolic of the woven thread of life — are both graphic and vibrantly chromatic, weaving stories of identity, space, and perception. Decornet gives form to invisible energies, using her signature interplay of transparency and structure to suggest movement, serenity, and lightness. Each piece is a precise, poetic construction, where the “thread” becomes a metaphor for continuity, memory, and connection.
Her work has attracted the attention of contemporary collectors and institutions alike. We were excited to present her work with Galerie Septentrion at Antica Namur, a prestigious European art and antiques fair, where her compositions received acclaim for their innovation and visual poetry.
Today, Fabienne Decornet is increasingly commissioned by interior architects and design professionals to create bespoke installations for both private and public spaces. She collaborates closely with clients to produce site-specific works that resonate with their environments and narratives — from monumental suspended structures to intimate, light-infused wall compositions.
She also continues to lead educational art programs and engage with public projects in France, particularly in her native region of Hauts-de-France, where her work often references industrial and regional heritage.
At the core of her approach is a belief in the coexistence and dialogue of materials. Her installations offer a sensorial journey through light, space, and vibration — and a compelling invitation to see beyond the visible.
