Claire Ferreira defines her work ‘in-between’ materials, like a dialogue between designed elements and less predictable ones - identities, leading to versatile or lunatic objects - and people, as objects to share.


Interested in the status of the object, the way it has been thought and how we appropriate it, she likes to reconsider and extend its possibilities, always trying to go beyond its own edges.
