Elodie Blanchard aka elasticCo is not your typical designer. A visit to her studio in Brooklyn, NY uncovered beautiful and playful treasures; a gauze curtain with platypus appliques, a giant, stuffed poodle, and a "suit" made entirely of rubber-bands. Elodie began creating these playful prototypes along with countless other sewn items after moving to the United States from France in 2000. Working without a sewing machine for several months, Elodie began making vases, lamps, and baskets out of rubber-bands she bought at 99 cent stores. Thus, elasticCo. was born. She now designs textiles and curtains for architectural projects and private clients along with her own work. Check out the video!
