Geometric compositions
Geometric compositions in straw marquetry — lines, colour and light, built strand by strand.
← All works-
Prisme de paille
This straw marquetry work balances geometric rigour with the warmth of natural material. Built around a structured star, its concentric pattern creates a sense of depth and movement. Precisely interwoven lines draw the eye towards the centre in an almost hypnotic rhythm. MDF panel and bespoke MDF frame.
-
Kaléidoscope
Constructed like a kaleidoscope, each segment of straw is organised around a central point to form rosette-like patterns that shift with the light. Alternating tones create successive symmetries, echoing the optical instrument from which the work takes its name. Its intimate scale draws attention to the precision of the assembly: the closer the viewer comes, the more fully the material reveals itself. MDF panel and bespoke MDF frame.
-
Hex
This composition explores the richness of geometric pattern and the subtle natural tones of straw. Precisely assembled, the individual pieces create a sequence of volumes and optical effects in which triangles and hexagons appear to rise from the surface. MDF panel and bespoke MDF frame.
-
Éventail ardent
Balancing structure and energy, this work evokes the warmth, movement and force of a solar flare. As the viewpoint and light change, the surface shifts subtly, revealing new nuances and reflections. MDF panel and bespoke MDF frame.
-
Ligne droite
This straw marquetry work brings together light, contrast and geometry in a composition that is both contemporary and timeless. Deep blacks, lifted by vivid accents of red and gold, create relief and a strong visual rhythm. MDF panel and bespoke MDF frame.

Reflet d’ambre
A composition in amber and golden tones, transformed by the changing angle of the light. Carefully oriented strands, laid in alternating directions, create a gentle vibration — like a reflection held within the material. The intimate format invites a closer view: at short distance, straw marquetry reveals the full character of its grain, tonal variations and depth.
-
Convergence
In this composition, the strands radiate from a central point, creating a sense of depth and movement. Fine, luminous lines seem to emerge from the heart of the work, like a wave or a silent source of energy.
-
Arcs-en-bleu
A composition of circular arcs in straw marquetry. Curves cut from indigo-dyed straw intersect in a gentle wave, moving away from the usual rigidity of geometric construction. Deep blue meets the natural fibres in a play of light and shadow, giving the piece a quiet presence — close to the flat intensity of gouache, yet warmed by the character of a living material.
-
Entre les lignes
Vertical lines structure this straw marquetry composition, creating a subtle interplay of transparency and depth. Behind the regular grid, a circular form gradually appears — like a veiled sun, or a quiet presence surfacing between the lines.
