Ismini Samanidou
Frances Lord profiles Ismini Samanidou who designs woven fabrics for interior spaces, ranging from one-off pieces to limited edition textiles.
Ismini Samanidou designs woven fabrics for interior spaces, ranging from one-off pieces to limited edition textiles, woven mainly on industrial computerised looms.
Athens-born, Samanidou moved from Greece to England aged nineteen to study on the foundation course at Camberwell College of Art and Design, where she first became interested in textiles. Her family background is a scientific rather than artistic one: her father a surgeon and her mother a biochemist. A BA in Textile Design at Central St Martins from 1997-2000 followed, then a MA in Constructed Textiles specialising in weave at the RCA, 2001–03.
Based in Cornwall, she is a member of Hidden Art Cornwall, Design Nation, Axis, Craft Central and the European Textile Network.
