STRAW MARQUETRYTHE TECHNIQUE![]() STRAW MARQUETRY is a completely handmade technique in which only the hand of the master intervenes from start to finish. The straw is collected, sorted and trimmed. It is used in its natural color or it can be dyed and then opened and ironed until it is transformed into smooth ribbons ready to be applied. The designs are drawn on the support and later the straws are glued and cut out depending on the design. MARQUETRY![]() STRAW MARQUETRY is a technique that replaces hard wood or stones with a simple material that, when worked, transforms into something rich, LUXURIOUS and EXCLUSIVE. Straw is a simple but powerful material that has a natural silica varnish that makes it reflect light like no other lacquer. The applied geometric designs create a play with the light that confers an unmatched, fine and silky beauty that invites you to touch. Since the 17th century there is evidence of this technique brought to Europe from the east. |
