kenée studio (future)

Kené: This term refers to the traditional geometric designs of the Shipibo-Conibo people. The intricate patterns are more than mere decorations; they represent the Shipibo worldview and spirituality, emphasizing beauty, balance, and the interconnectedness of life.

Kenée Studio is a multidisciplinary design practice rooted in ancestral knowledge and contemporary aesthetics. We create textiles, objects, and spatial experiences that explore connection, memory, and material storytelling.


Years: 2025 onwards
