Lauretta Converse blends modern design with organic form, inspired by natural textures, quiet simplicity, and handcrafted tradition. Her dimensional macrame fiber art creates dimensional pieces that engage light and shadow, often exploring asymmetrical balance, and draw from the understated elegance of nature.
She incorporates materials that reflect her natural aesthetic like walnut, leather, and soft yet substantial rope to craft pieces that evoke connection, resilience, and calm. Inspired by coastal elements, woven patterns, and natural movement, her designs play with tension, structure, and space. The result is a timeless yet fresh aesthetic.
