INTERVIEW: INÈS BRESSAND 23.07.25 | PAN AFTER
Inès Bressand is a Marseille-based designer working at the intersection of craft, material research and contemporary form. Influenced by natural materials and ingenuity of traditional objects, her Akamaeseries of sculptural woven bags demonstrates an innovative approach to cross-collaboration. The collection originated in 2015 during a research trip to Ghana, where Bressand began working with master basket weavers in the Upper East region. The creative process was guided by hands-on experimentation, observation and direct material handling — fostering long-term partnerships with a community of skilled artisans.
