In Yeonghye, an artist known for her diverse textile works, has been selected as the final winner of the ‘2025 Rising Talent Awards’ by Maison&Objet.

Maison&Objet, Europe's largest crafts fair, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The event hosts the Rising Talent Awards, which annually selects a country to highlight young craft artists and designers under the age of 35.

After studying Textile Art Design, In Yeonghye has expanded her practice into a diverse array of textile works, spanning from sewing drawings to art furniture and objects. Employing her unique hand-sewing techniques, she captures the multifaceted nature of the inner self and explores the complexities of human relationships. In’s work delivers a visual experience highlighted by the bumpy and undulating texture of the fabric, a tactile experience from the thick materials she uses, and also an emotional experience shared with others.

In Yeonghye's works are set to be exhibited at Maison&Objet in Paris, France, on January 16 next year.
