Charlotte Stuby & Susanne Fischer
Charlotte Stuby and Susanne Fischer are an artist duo whose collaborative practice bridges the realms of art, design, and textile craftsmanship.
Based between Brussels (BE) and Vevey (CH), their work transforms public spaces, interiors, objects, and garments, creating immersive and thought-provoking pieces that blur the boundaries between functionality and artistic expression.
Charlotte’s approach revisits traditional textile techniques such as sewing, appliqué, and embroidery, transforming them into bold, narrative-driven compositions. Her work explores the imaginary and symbolic, questioning how material and form construct our daily lives and identities. Susanne’s background in fashion design and costume creation complements this vision, bringing expertise in blending textiles with unconventional materials like metal. Her practice thrives on juxtaposition, merging styles, shapes, and techniques to craft dynamic, multi-dimensional works.
Together, their projects, such as "Handle with joy" exhibition co-curated with Sarah Margnetti, showcase a seamless fusion of textile and painting within innovative scenographies. They also collaborate on capsule collections and unique creations, from football jerseys for women’s teams to reconstructed garments, continually pushing the limits of craft and design. This duo’s work celebrates the intersections of tradition and innovation, art and design, crafting a shared narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
This is a selection of collaborative works.

AS/MG, Winter 2025
This project extends the exploration initiated with Take the Opportunity to Elevate Yourself, translating its playful spirit into a new domestic setting. Four second-hand chairs were sourced, fully dismantled, and reimagined through a meticulous process that combined restoration and textile design.
The metallic tubular structures were thermo-lacquered, while the seats and backs were recovered with textile compositions inspired by motocross attire. Using techniques such as appliqué, embroidery and quilting, the new coverings reinterpret the dynamic language of sportswear into functional furniture.
This continuation of the series reinforces the dialogue between craftsmanship, reuse, and visual expression — transforming familiar objects into uplifting and expressive design pieces.

Take the opportunity to elevate yourself, Summer 2024
This project features two bar stools and a bar bench inspired by motocross attire, crafted from upcycled chairs and fabric remnants from previous projects. It embodies a playful exploration of textile techniques such as embroidery, patchwork, and piping, reimagined for new structural forms. Amid challenging times, the aim was to uplift—both physically, by elevating the seating, and emotionally, through cheerful embroidered messages.

Léman, Summer 2024
Léman is a capsule jewelry collection composed of a necklace and a pair of earrings, both shaped after the contours of Lake Léman — the body of water along which both artists grew up. Sculpted in recycled silver using the lost-wax technique, the pieces trace the lake’s sinuous form, their edges cut with a saw reminiscent of the surrounding mountain facades plunging into its depths. The mirror-polished surfaces reflect light like the lake itself, creating a dialogue between landscape and ornament, nature and craftsmanship. Minimal yet sculptural, each piece embodies a shared sense of origin and material sensitivity, transforming a familiar horizon into wearable memory.

Brise bise, Summer 2023
This project reimagines the traditional Californian blind by adding a new dimension to the space it occupies. While the blind divides and obstructs light or air, its patchwork illustration creates the illusion of openness, suggesting a new room or landscape. The composition, designed to be hung indoors, draws on references to familiar domestic objects and sentimental scenery, blending functionality with artistic expression.

HANDLE WITH JOY, an exhibition in collaboration with Sarah Margnetti, Winter 2023
From quilting to embroidery, clothing to works of art, this exhibition by six hands is a joyful exploration of textile techniques taking the viewer on a stroll through a pictorial staging of the pieces. The textile works, by the Charlotte Stuby and Susanne Fischer duo, invoke memories of mountains, the lake, and friendship. Sarah Margnetti’s brush makes the textile works dance in a ballet of hands, feet, and noses. The three artists connect with amusement and affinity between design and visual art to make light of these media as well as their status.

Handmade reversible bomber jackets, Autumn 2021
This project involved the design and production of two bomber jackets, combining techniques such as knitting, embroidery, and quilting. Through our shared research and experimentation, we discovered numerous synergies that enriched the creative process. The project evolved into a complex and multifaceted piece, blending our distinct practices and skills while exploring the potential of different textiles with unique material properties. Boundaries were constantly questioned and pushed in a natural, stimulating manner. The playful imagery on the jackets serves as a tribute to our native country, infused with a joyful and humorous spirit.
