Generative design involves using algorithmic processes to create unique, data-driven designs. At TRAME, we blend this digital approach with traditional craftsmanship, allowing algorithms to generate patterns and structures that artisans then bring to life in physical forms.

Our Enlace collection by Aranda/Lash reimagines the classic Parisian café chair by integrating generative weaving techniques with the expertise of Maison Louis Drucker. Similarly, the Navette series by Alexis André combines digital algorithms with traditional loom weaving to produce distinctive tapestries.

By utilizing generative algorithms, each design is created with unique parameters, ensuring no two pieces are identical. This approach allows us to offer personalized and one-of-a-kind items to our clients.

Artisans are integral to our process. They interpret and materialize the digital designs generated by algorithms, applying their traditional skills to produce tangible, handcrafted pieces that embody both innovation and heritage. We also work with a global network of creative technologists to craft bespoke code-based algorithms.

Yes, our collections, including pieces from Enlace, Navette, and Optimism are available for purchase. Each item comes with a digital provenance, ensuring authenticity and uniqueness. You can email us at info@trameparis.com to acquire a piece or design a new product.

We view technology and craftsmanship as complementary forces. By informing our algorithms with the physical constraints of traditional crafts, we ensure that the digital designs are both innovative and realizable, fostering a harmonious blend of the old and new.

While we’re always exploring new tools and technologies, our current process is rooted in human creativity—both in the writing of code and in the making of objects. The algorithms we use are designed and guided by people, and every piece is brought to life by skilled artisans. For us, technology is a collaborator and a tool, not a replacement. We remain open to generative AI and other emerging tools, so long as they support our commitment to intentionality, craft, and meaningful design.

Yes. TRAME welcomes bespoke projects and special commissions. Whether you're looking to adapt an existing piece or develop something entirely new, we collaborate closely with clients, designers, and institutions to bring custom visions to life—always rooted in our commitment to craftsmanship, storytelling, and technology. If you have a project in mind, we’d love to hear from you. Email us at info@trameparis.com.

Designing with algorithms unlocks speed, scale, and endless variation—allowing designers to explore thousands of possibilities in a fraction of the time. But it’s not just about efficiency. Algorithms can generate complex patterns and unexpected outcomes that expand the boundaries of traditional design. At TRAME, we use them as creative tools, not replacements—pairing computational systems with age-old craft techniques or digital fabrication to open up new aesthetics, workflows, and ways of making.

We collaborate closely with interior designers and architects to develop custom pieces, curated collections, or site-specific installations that align with a project’s vision. Whether adapting an existing design or creating something entirely new, we offer custom algorithm development, material samples, technical drawings, and hands-on support throughout the process. Our global network of craftspeople and technologists allows us to deliver work that’s both highly tailored and rooted in meaningful storytelling. Do you have a design project that we can help with?
