About

Yen-Hua Chen is a textile designer specializing in weaving, printing, and surface design, deeply inspired by nature and Impressionist art. Her work emphasizes aesthetic beauty and harmony, creating textiles that pursue a timeless elegance. 


With a rich background in arts, design, and fashion management, coupled with global business experience, Yen-Hua crafts textiles that bridge artistic vision and practical skills with the needs of modern life.

Captured in Cloth is a textile collection inspired by the dynamic interplay of light and shadows. Rooted in Impressionist influences, I explore how fleeting natural phenomena can be translated into tangible textile designs. The collection comprises three distinct themes — Quiet Gray, Luminous Afternoon, and Golden Harmony — each capturing different phases of daylight. Through meticulous weaving and printing techniques, I bring the ephemeral beauty into the material world, creating textiles that resonate with both fashion and interior design.
