Geometric compositions
Geometric compositions in straw marquetry — interplays of lines, hues and light, laid blade by blade.
← All works-
Prisme de paille
This straw marquetry piece embodies the perfect balance between geometric rigor and the warmth of natural materials. Its concentric pattern, built around a structured star, creates an impression of depth and movement. The lines intertwine with precision, guiding the eye toward the center in an almost hypnotic harmony. MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.
-
Kaléidoscope
A composition built like a kaleidoscope — each straw segment is organized around a central point to form rosette patterns that shift depending on the angle of the light. The shades alternate in successive symmetries, mirroring the mechanics of the optical instrument from which the work takes its name. A small format where the precision of the assembly matters more than the scale, and where the material reveals itself as you draw closer. MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.
-
Hex
This composition explores the richness of geometric patterns and the subtlety of the material's natural shades. Assembled with precision, the straw pieces form a succession of volumes and optical illusions where triangles and hexagons seem to unfold in relief. MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.

Éventail ardent
Balancing structure and energy, this piece evokes the warmth, movement, and power of a solar flare. Depending on the viewing angle and lighting, the surface subtly transforms, revealing new nuances and reflections. MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.
-
Ligne droite
This straw marquetry piece plays with light, contrasts, and geometry to create a work that is both modern and timeless. The deep shades of black, enhanced by vibrant touches of red and gold, bring texture and a true visual dynamism. MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.

Reflet d'ambre
A composition in amber and golden tones, catching the light differently depending on the viewing angle. The straw strands, laid in alternating patterns and carefully oriented, create a soft vibration — like a reflection frozen in the material. The intimate format invites a closer look: it is from just a few inches away that the straw marquetry reveals its true grain, nuances, and depth.
-
Convergence
In this composition, the strands radiate outward from a central point, creating an impression of depth and movement. The fine, luminous lines seem to spring from the heart of the piece, like a wave or a silent source of energy.
-
Arcs-en-bleu
A composition of circular arcs in straw marquetry — blue curves, cut from indigo-dyed straw, intersect to create a wavy motion that breaks away from standard geometric rigidity. The deep blue dialogues with the natural fibers in a play of light and shadow, giving the piece a calm presence — akin to a flat gouache wash, but with the warmth of a living material.

Entre les lignes
In this straw marquetry piece, vertical lines structure the composition, creating a subtle play of transparency and depth. Behind this regular grid, a circular shape emerges—like a veiled sun or a discrete presence surfacing between the lines.
