Aurélie Mossé

Aurélie Mossé is a textile designer and researcher working with responsive materials and digital technologies. She is about to complete a PhD in Tectonic Textiles at CITA, Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Design and Conservation, Copenhagen, in collaboration with Textile Futures Research Centre, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. Sitting at the intersection of textile design, architecture and smart technologies, her research is practice-based and design-led. It focuses on the design of self-actuated textiles for the home, particularly the poetic and aesthetic potential of technologies such as electro-active or light-responsive polymers. This interdisciplinary investigation has resulted in various collaborations with architects and material scientists in the field of electro-active and light responsive polymers as well as with the Philip Design Probes team, Eindhoven, Netherlands. Aurélie holds a MA in Design for Textile Futures from Central St Martins, London. She is also a founding member of Puff & Flock, the London-based textile design lab.
