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.

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. 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. Together, their projects, such as "Handle With Joy" 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.

Take the opportunity to elevate yourself, 2024

Two bar stools and a bar bench inspired by motocross attire

Upcycled chairs garnished with fabric remnants from pevious projects. A continuous joyful exploration of various textile techniques such as embroidery, patchwork and piping, adapted to new structures.

Throughout this project, considering these weird and challenging times, our aim was to give people the opportunity to feel uplifted, not only by sitting higher but also through cheering embroidered messages.

HANDLE WITH JOY, an exhibition in collaboration with Sarah Margnetti, 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.
