What is FilO ?

FilO TreeNets was created in 2023 by us, Jean and Alexis, two guys from the opposite sides of France, united by the same love for rope, art, nature, and the infinite depth of the human experience.

FilO is a pun in french, which means "high rope" (fil haut). It is also a reference to the word "philosophy", as a tribute to our love for endless discussions about life, death, and everything in between.

Our aim is to create spaces designed to induce wonder, curiosity, fun and inspiration for a balanced life. Today, this work is mostly done in people's gardens and homes, in festivals and in public parks, but eventually, we dream of doing bigger things...

One of those dreams is to find a beautiful forest, to make a TreeNet park. A truly unique place, filled with land art and incredible nets everywhere, with a restaurant, maybe a hostel, a garden to grow food, art studios, places for retreats, and a big festival every year...

Just a dream, among many, for now, of course, but maybe stick around to see where this all goes !

One of the main reasons why we started making TreeNets is because we stumbled upon TreeNetWilly's work on the internet, and instantly got inspired. Coming from the USA, Willy and his team have been making hundreds of nets all over the world, since 2008 ! Their nets are super strong, beautiful, and rigorously made.

Willy helped us along the way with his tips and tricks, then sent us on some projects he couldn't do, and now we are collaborating on multiple projects all over Europe ! Not only does this guy make incredible works of art, he's a truly humble and generous human being, wich is something we'll forever be grateful for. Thank you, Will !

If you too, want to learn how to make these magical creations, check out the weaving retreats organized in the UK and in Mexico by TreeNetWilly's and the legendary OhmBrella team. A guaranteed awesome experience, that will bring you much more than what you signed up for !
