Straw marquetry
Straw marquetry is the delicate art of applying rye straw, a plant material, to a support to create decorative elements. This skill is entirely handmade by craftsmen, and requires no machinery.
Currently, around ten professional workshops worldwide have mastered this age-old technique.

Upon receipt of the straw ordered from our supplier in Burgundy, each strand is delicately opened in half and flattened. The straw's exterior, coated with a natural silica-based varnish, gives it a distinctive luminosity. Each strand is then meticulously inspected to eliminate defects such as sun spots or breaks. They are then glued edge-to-edge to a support using wood glue and a folding tool, a bone tool that becomes an extension of the marker's hand.
