Rare and singular creations imbued with poetry

Through ancestral Japanese textile techniques (folding and resist dyeing) and photograms, where light directly captures the texture of the fibers, the shapes and shades can never be exactly reproduced. Like every person, each creation is unique and tells a story.

More than just an object, it is a presence, a living texture that accompanies everyday life with poetry.

I am Cécile, the creative mind behind Cecile Au Zen.

A textile artist inspired by nature, plant fibers, and Japanese aesthetics.

My journey in plant medicine fostered a deep connection with the vegetal world before finding another form of expression through fibers, colors, and textures.

I color the world with a gentle light. Each piece is an exploration, a dialogue between intuition, material, and inspiration—nourished by Japanese aesthetics and a deeply organic sensibility.

Beyond the artworks themselves, it is an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to inhabit spaces with greater presence.

A huge thank you, Cécile, for your beautiful creations, which were a big hit yesterday.

Beautiful, with lovely details and presented in elegant gift packaging. A real treat. Cecile Au Zen—highly recommended.

I love my new bolster! It’s just the right firmness—perfect for yoga! And it’s so pretty that I put it on our couch when I’m not using it, as a decorative pillow, instead of storing it with my yoga mat :).

A beautiful bolster, made with high-quality materials… it exceeded my expectations. Plus, the seller was very pleasant to deal with 🙂 I’d happily buy from them again and highly recommend them!

Cecile creates beautiful, high-quality items, and I love everything I’ve bought from her. Cecile is always available to answer questions and offer advice, which is incredibly helpful when shopping from halfway around the world. Throughout the entire process, Cecile is there to help. You’re sure to fall in love with every item you buy from Cecile.

A beautiful bolster, made from gorgeous fabric and featuring superb craftsmanship. Cecile AuZen was very kind in accommodating my requests, and communication was seamless. She also speaks German very well. I am very satisfied and highly recommend her beautiful creations. Thank you for everything.

My second cushion from Cecile au Zen. Once again, I’m delighted to see just how exceptionally beautiful this cushion is. It features a perfect design, extraordinary fabric, and craftsmanship that meets the highest standards. I place a great deal of importance on the durability and longevity of products. Both of these qualities are evident in this cushion. I use it for my daily meditation.

A recommendation that comes from the heart. Cecile is wonderful; working with her has been simply fantastic. She’s creative, has great ideas—and crafts everything with immense care and impeccable artisanal skill. On top of that, she uses unique, high-quality fabrics. You can’t ask for anything better. The bolster, the zafu, and the eye pillow are a dream.
