MEET Sarah Espuete
Between Art and Design
“My creations must carry emotion, tell stories, and bring poetry to the everyday.”
Sarah Espeute’s work moves between disciplines—never confined to art or design, but alive in the tension between them. Her embroidered table linens are not merely functional objects; they are quiet meditations on memory, intimacy, and time. Each piece is shaped by her distinct sensibility, transforming the everyday into a space for stillness and reflection. Utility becomes poetry, and beauty finds its place at the table.

Textiles as Testament
“To me, textiles hold stories. They carry the warmth of the hand, the trace of time.”
In a world increasingly shaped by speed and disposability, Sarah’s work offers an invitation to revalue what is slow, tactile, and deeply personal. Her commitment to textiles is both artistic and philosophical—rooted in the belief that cloth can be as noble as stone or wood. Through delicate embroidery and small-series production, she restores a sense of reverence to materials too often overlooked, crafting heirlooms that feel both grounded and ethereal.
Rooted in Collaboration
“I’m drawn to partnerships that value craft, slowness, and soul.”
Sarah’s universe doesn’t exist in isolation—it unfolds through connection. Whether through limited editions or poetic installations, she partners with artisans, ateliers, and brands who share her devotion to craft and quiet beauty. Each collaboration becomes a shared language, an exchange of sensitivity and intention. Her work with Obakki is one such meeting—where meaning, material, and mindful design come together in elegant harmony.
