Aiveen Daly Hand Pleated Empress Cushion

Aiveen Daly is one of London’s leading textile artists working with flawless precision in silk, wool and leather. Her soft, meditative style lends an almost ethereal quality to her art. Her delicate works are both beautifully intricate and highly tactile, featuring exquisite embroidery and beadwork, and sculptural leatherwork. Aiveen works with many of the world’s most distinguished designers and architects to create the custom statement artworks. She has partnered with designers on a number of award-winning projects including Katharine Pooley and acclaimed yacht designer Winch Design. Her extensive expertise, coupled with the skill of her multi-disciplinary team enables her to choose precisely the right aesthetic and techniques for each commission. From London to Shanghai to New York, her works grace the walls of many of the world’s most prestigious residences, royal palaces, commercial properties (including the Corinthia London and The Langham Hong Kong) superyachts and private jets. Aiveen discovered her love for textiles as a teenager growing up in Cork, Ireland when she was given a sewing machine for her 14th birthday. Over the years Aiveen has lived all over the world including in St Petersburg and Sydney, gleaning inspiration from her travels. On moving to London, Aiveen embraced sewing and textiles at London College of Fashion and drawing and painting classes at Central St Martins. It was however a professional upholstery course that introduced her to interiors.
