Gallery Straw marquetry - Lison de Caunes

Delisle Lorenz x Baumer lamp

This camelia-shaped chandelier draws its influences from the delicate forms of nature, revealing a subtle harmony between art and craftsmanship. Every detail of this luminaire testifies to the meticulous craftsmanship that characterizes the work of Maison Delisle, where the precision of the chasing recalls the sophisticated elegance of the creations. Selected materials such as straw marquetry, engraved glass and alabaster create a delicate texture, evoking the softness of first light.

Showcase The Balvenie

We had the honor of collaborating with illustrator Koralie Carmen Flores to design an exceptional case for an outstanding whisky, The Balvenie Rare Marriages 25-Year-Old. The piece, composed of five panels articulated like a folding screen, pays homage to the rare crafts of the distillery: barley cultivation and malting, coppersmithing, coopering, and the master of the cellar. Each panel features an exclusive design reflecting these skills, and when opened, they reveal Scottish landscapes in the distinctive colors of the distillery. Our collaboration, enhanced by the expertise of French cabinetmaker Benoît Marcu, has created a case worthy of the whisky it houses.

Guerlain Harrod’s

Straw marquetry panels for the Guerlain Harrods boutique.
For this showcase, we created a large decorative panel, a true allegory of the sun and its gentle rays, whose beauty also manifests in the straw motif. The brilliance of this creation is enhanced by the natural reflections of the material and subtly concealed lighting on either side of the brass shelves that host exceptional bottles. The same straw marquetry work harmoniously reflects on the doors of a piece of furniture, enhancing the iconic Guerlain bee.

Mirage, set of three modular tables

For the anniversary exhibition of Maison Parisienne, Florence Guillier Bernard, its founder, commissioned 15 original works from 15 artists of the material. We created for the occasion, with the assistance of the Ombre agency, Mirage, a set of three modular tables.

Each piece resonates with the magnificence of the exhibition venue: the Hall of the Marshals, located within the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Through numerous combinations, this ensemble divides or comes together to become a totem, accentuating the elevation of the magnolia flower which appears alternately in silhouette, solid form, and hologram.

Glenn Sestig x Lison de Caunes

Beausoleil harmoniously combines the characteristic minimalism of Glenn Sestig with the marvelous art of Lison de Caunes in straw marquetry. The name Beausoleil, a combination of "beautiful sun," perfectly illustrates the essence of these creations. It eloquently evokes the shimmering patterns of the straw, arranged in sunbeams that capture and reflect light, exerting an ineffable allure.

The Sun Box by Pierre Marie

With the sun as its guiding theme, Pierre Marie sublimates this celestial body and imagines around it a rich ornamental repertoire, evoking wheat as a symbol of light, abundance, and the craftsmanship of straw. A unique piece, "The Sun Box" also serves as the inspiration for a tale written by Ahmed Terbaoui in harmony with Pierre Marie's poetic universe. From east to west, a young boy searches for the sun until he encounters it in a wheat field with "the woman with gold in her hands"… A wonderful allusion to Lison de Caunes.
