About
About
Studio Mend is a project and design studio by Sunniva Amber Flesland, based in Oslo, Norway.
The studio specialises in visible mending and design revolving around giving our most treasured garments a second life. The aim is to bring awareness to the potentials of repair and inspire people to take better care of their garments and use them longer.
Sunniva’s repair work is playful and delicate, minimalistic and often inspired by organic shapes found in nature. She has a big love for (and has her main focus on) colour. Her work balances between careful composition and the randomness of the fault in the garment, using the imperfection and repair to heighten the quality of the garment.
Studio Mend does collaborations and project based work, workshops and repairs on request.
