In the heart of Berlin, Lisa Laurén uses her textile artistry to create stunning animal costume heads for performers. Drawing inspiration from her playful childhood in a Swedish commune, Laurén treats each commission as a fun project, stating, “it’s kind of like I’m going on a play date.” These vibrant, colorful creations allow her to shape someone else's dream into a tangible piece of art.
Laurén, a well-rounded freelance textile artist, has collaborated with big names like Netflix and the Metropolitan Opera. The journey into crafting animal heads began in 2011 when she was commissioned by the Komische Oper Berlin for an opera featuring forest creatures. Since then, her whimsical creations—ranging in price from $2,500 to $3,500—have captivated audiences and performers alike, solidifying her reputation in the performing arts scene.
