Sylvie Maillard is a Nantes-based pattern designer and printmaker operating as Atelier Moëli. Her practice centres on artisanal print techniques - linocut, cyanotype, and plant prints - applied to pattern design for textiles and interior decoration. Motifs are hand-drawn and traditionally constructed before digital refinement; a private pattern catalogue is available on request. Maillard also teaches printmaking workshops throughout the year.
The practice is rooted in plant matter, gesture, and materiality. Motifs are gathered from botanical observation - forms that grow, transform, and carry trace. The visual language is restrained and precise: botanical rhythms with a handmade quality that preserves the marks and irregularities of the making process. The portfolio features botanical and organic repeat patterns with a refined palette suited to interior decoration and artisanal textile use.
Linocut (hand-drawn, engraved, and printed in-studio), cyanotype (light and water-reactive printing yielding deep blues), and plant printing (direct impression of botanical matter). Each motif is drawn traditionally and then refined digitally. Pattern composition involves assembling drawn, engraved, or printed elements into rhythms and repeats.
Interior decoration and textile. Documented collaboration: Atelier Moëli × César Bazaar - Tulipe cement tile collection. Pattern catalogue available on request for licensing. Teaching workshops hosted at @m.u.m44, Nantes.
Based in Nantes. Founded Atelier Moëli as a creative and transmission space combining pattern design practice with public-facing printmaking workshops. No specific prior career history documented.
Botanical, organic, and printmaking-derived patterns. Linocut-based florals and patchworks; cyanotype circles and plant forms; plant print herbarium compositions. The portfolio features a vocabulary of leaf forms, botanical abstractions, and rhythmic repeat structures with an artisanal, hand-printed character.
