Straw marquetry


An exceptional tradition, contemporary creations

A refined decorative art form, straw marquetry is a rare craft that has gracefully endured through the centuries. Created from carefully prepared rye straw, this artisanal technique reveals unique reflections and luminous effects through the natural sheen of the material. Each piece captures and reflects light differently depending on the viewing angle, offering a living, warm and sophisticated surface.

 

Our workshop preserves this traditional craftsmanship with precision and attention to detail: selecting the straw, opening the fibers, applying each strand by hand… every stage respects the historic techniques of this fine craft. This meticulous process gives rise to unique creations, most often entirely handmade.

For more complex projects, laser cutting provides unmatched precision and efficiency. This innovative technique expands creative possibilities while ensuring exceptional finesse and flawless detailing.

 

While the technique remains deeply rooted in tradition, our creations are firmly inspired by contemporary aesthetics. Clean lines, graphic compositions, subtle contrasts and luminous color palettes allow straw marquetry to integrate naturally into modern interiors. Furniture, decorative panels, bespoke objects and wall coverings become distinctive pieces that are both timeless and contemporary.

Through each creation, we seek to establish a dialogue between artisanal heritage and contemporary design, between natural materials and modernity. Light itself becomes a true compositional element, revealing the richness and delicate beauty of the straw.

 

We design bespoke creations for private clients, interior architects, decorators and professionals seeking authentic craftsmanship combined with a modern and elegant vision.
