ABOUT

​

Felicia Hansen (Denmark) is a multidisciplinary textile artist, designer, and self-proclaimed professional teddy bear killer. Known for her unconventional approach, she deconstructs stuffed animals to create sustainable art and interior designs, using her work to raise awareness about post-consumer waste from the toy industry.

​

With a five-year design degree from The Swedish School of Textiles in Borås, Felicia specialized in sustainable textile practices, focusing on repurposing toy waste. Her work goes beyond typical design - she explores the emotional value we place on toys, even after we’ve outgrown them, turning them into new forms that highlight the potential for reuse. This is showcased in her projects like Teddy Bear Orbs, where recycled stuffed animals are reshaped into colorful, round forms, and the Teddy Bear Killer Workshop, which invites participants to create their own art using discarded toys.

​

Felicia’s work has been featured in exhibitions such as Looking Forward at Dutch Design Week, Milan Design Week, Teddy Orb Landscape at Way Out West in Gothenburg, and Pop Up Festival in Copenhagen. Her 2023 solo exhibition, Where is Your Teddy?, was a significant success, exploring the sentimental connections we have with toys and their sustainable possibilities. This success continued in 2024 with her solo exhibition, Do you still love me?, where she deepened her exploration of these emotional ties and the potential for repurposing toys, dedicating a whole exhibition to interior objects made entirely from discarded stuffed animals.

​

Recently, Felicia has also expanded her practice to include exhibition design, curating, and producing. In 2024, she curated, designed, and produced the exhibition Thrive & Nurture for STPLN and in 2025 she curated and designed the 50 year anniversary exhibition for Kirseberg Vävstuga. 

​

Whether through her art, workshops, or exhibitions, Felicia brings a creative, innovative, and environmentally conscious perspective to everything she does.
