Nada Lottermann and Vanessa Fuentes’ strong childhood bond set the foundations for their successful, joint career in photography. Based in Frankfurt, the duo’s images are modern, sexy and fun. Their distinct photographic style was shown in the Galerie für Moderne Fotografie and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. In their exhibition, entitled “PING PONG”, they present playful pictures that were often spontaneously, yet precisely, executed.

Studio Vanessa Barragão is a design studio focusing on the artisanal techniques and wasted yarns from the industry to produce textiles and products for interiors. Growing up in the seaside, her connection to the ocean is the inspiration for her artworks. Vanessa Barragão’s work is characterized by her captivating environments of coral reefs, cleverly combining craft and recycled materials into unique and luxurious sculptural carpets and tapestries for floors and walls. Vanessa was born in Albufeira, in the south of Portugal. Her studio was founded in 2014 when she attended a Master degree at the Lisbon University in fashion and textiles design. There she developed her first wool yarn collection and tapestries through an ecological artisanal process. Currently, she is based in Porto, the Northern region of Portugal where the nation’s textile industry core is located, and divides her time between collaborating as a textile designer for an artisanal rugs factory and running her studio.
