"By playing with textures, silk muslin, wool, colors, and her original prints, Françoise Hoffmann explores a wide artistic vocabulary and a visual syntax comparable to those of pigments on a painting.

She subjects one of the oldest textile techniques, felt, to the most fertile contemporary combinations.

The hybridization of the material with other techniques such as photography reveals creations with a double meaning, front and back, one legible, other blurred, like a metaphor for our perception of events that oscillates between clarity and obscurity." - Christine Athénor FITE curator

In 2003 she began a collaboration with French haute couture, realising a hybrid fabric of felt and velvet jacquard for Lanvin. In 2005 she created costumes for the Opera Houses of Lyons, Baden-Baden and La Scala in Milan. Her nomination as Master of Art by the French Ministry of Culture in 2008 has lead to national and international recognition.

She particpited several exhibitions around the world, notably in New York (Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum), France, Vietnam (Hanoi,

Hue), Hong Kong, and China (Beijing, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Ordos, Shanghai).

Some of her major creation found their homes in world-renown museums, such as the Lyons Textile Museum, the China National Silk Museum in Hangzhou, the Musée de la Piscine in Roubaix, the Felt Museum in Mouzon, the Musée des Chapeaux in Chazelles-sur-Lyon.
