Drawing from decorative arts, rich textures, and time-intensive techniques practiced today by only a few remaining masters.

Traditionally used on furniture and panels, here it is transformed into architecture. Created in collaboration with Lison de Caunes, France’s leading authority on straw marquetry, this is a rare sculptural expression of a centuries-old craft. Two women from different generations, Lison and Farah, saw eye to eye. A shared belief in craft, patience, and the power of pushing a material to its edge and making it modern. Farah had a vision: to create a three-dimensional sculpture using only flat materials and a single color. Black. A serious, sober tone. But as you move around the piece, it shifts. What feels still, begins to breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same straw is cut and laid at opposing angles in precise chevron patterns, creating contrast from direction alone.
