Lison de Caunes
For Lison de Caunes, straw marquetry is a childhood memory. She was introduced to this material early on in the workshop of her grandfather, André Groult, a renowned Art Deco decorator and cabinetmaker. Passionate about preserving this craft, she dedicated herself for many years to restoring remarkable masterpieces of straw marquetry. Building on this expertise, she later embarked on creating contemporary pieces, reviving the forgotten art of straw marquetry. Today, Lison de Caunes is recognized as a Maître d’Art and stands as a leading figure in this historic French craft.
