The artist and designer Franziska Lutze lives and works in Berlin. For her textile works, she uses a historical and traditional dyeing technique, blueprinting. She uses only natural textiles. This printing and dyeing technique has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2018.

Franziska Lutze collaborates with Europe's oldest blueprinting workshop, which has existed in Einbeck since 1638. In contrast to the floral and folkloristic patterns of traditional blueprinting, she uses clear and minimal forms, which she arranges into geometric compositions. Contrary to what the name "blueprinting" suggests, she also creates works with UV-accurate (predominantly primary) colors.

Franziska Lutze draws her inspiration from both nature and architecture. She finds symbols in her surroundings and transforms them into patterns. When she walks past old gates, doors, or tiles with special design elements, these may end up as abstractions in her work. She also transfers architectural dimensions to the two-dimensional textile surface. She likes to break these down into simple shapes such as circles, triangles, and squares. Her prints are created in a very intuitive way. She rarely makes her own stamps, but usually finds them in her surroundings. Sometimes a shape is simply the edge of an object, which she uses to create linear elements for her work. Everything fits together quite naturally. Reliance on her eye plays a central role in her work. She judges by sight and feeling, letting her intuition guide the balance and space in her pieces.

An essential characteristic of her work is the seemingly effortless crossing of boundaries between everyday life, craftsmanship, and art.
