Hi, I am Gaia

Gaia Leonardi
Designer of WeaveWise

I am Gaia Leonardi, the creator of WeaveWise, which originated from my previous project, “Manifattura-minimale” (2022). This project was the foundation of my Bachelor’s degree in Textile Design from Hochschule Luzern. Driven by my passion, I decided to further develop this initiative through my Master’s studies, which I will complete in June 2024.

Leading this project has taught me how to manage and apply my knowledge to create holistic design interventions. WeaveWise transforms textile waste, specifically sun blind fabric scraps, into valuable products and services.

Each new project excites me with the opportunity to repurpose materials in innovative ways, revealing the untapped potential within them. My expertise in various techniques and the insights I’ve gained allow me to blend research and practical application seamlessly. This dynamic approach provides me with the flexibility and determination to tackle new challenges successfully.
