KRJST Studio

KRJST studio is a Belgian artist duo founded in 2012.The duo began working in the fashion industry for almost 3 years after earning a master's degree in Cambre Mode. In 2015, they immersed themselves in the art and interior design sector due to key meetings and the need to put creativity and art at the center of their practice again. Four hands, two souls, and four eyes are tuned together to invoke a collective memory, to alter it, and to pass it on.

The duo creates sumptuous and monumental hand-embroidered tapestries.

Emotions, storytelling and technical expertise are all central to their creative process. The tapestries are mainly made for architectural purposes and art collectors.

By giving itself time for creation, KRJST takes an intimate awareness of time both as the place of change and a place of permanence and as a place of reconciliation between traditional and ritual technique and experimental and modern technique, making dialogue between laborious work of weaving and the moment of the gesture. The binary relationship between the jacquard and the processor is already evocative in itself. Such an oscillation between the past and the future between craftsmanship and technology, reflecting the importance of keeping our roots and yet living with the times.
