Straw marquetry
Straw marquetry consists of sticking a plant material, rye straw, on a support, to create an element of decoration. It is a technique that does not require any machine, everything is entirely done by the hand of the craftsman.
Today there are about twenty workshops in the world mastering this savoir-faire.
Our savoir-faire
Our savoir-faire
Upon receipt of the straw ordered from our supplier in Burgundy (France), it must be opened in half and flattened.
The outside of the straw is covered with a natural varnish, called silica, which gives it this special luminosity and natural protection.
Once opened, each strand is checked one by one to remove any flaws such as sun spots or breakage.
They are then glued edge to edge on a support using a plioir, a bone tool that becomes an extension of the craftsman's hand.
