How fashion inspires laine + alliage
Laine + Alliage is the New York studio of artist Tania Leipold. Founded in 2016, the studio works across hand-painted wallpaper, hand-knotted rugs, pillows, and couture-finished textiles. Every piece is made to order, exclusively to the trade.
Tania's training is in patternmaking. She apprenticed in Paris, studied at FIT in New York, and returned to Paris to work as a patternmaker, learning the geometric discipline of cutting shapes that build a garment. Laine + Alliage began as an extension of that practice into a different surface: interiors.
The studio is best known for its signature Découpage, appliquéd textiles built from cut shapes inspired by garment patternmaking. The first was made in 2018 for a private home in the Hamptons. Tania approached the pillow as a painter approaches a canvas: a study in composition and color. The technique became the studio's foundation. Wallpaper followed, taken directly from her paintings. Then rugs, hand-knotted in Nepal. Today, a single artistic point of view runs across every surface, wall, floor, and cushion, produced for the projects of leading interior designers.
