Artisan Techniques - Marquetry

Marquetry is covering a structural base with pieces of veneer, cut by hand, and inlaid for decorative detail.

Marquetry is considered one of the earliest forms of skilled crafts and became popular in the early 16th century in Europe.

Inspired by history and tradition, we keep this amazing craft alive through our products and design.

Now a rare skill, most of our artisans are taught the skill of marquetry in-house.

Artisans and designers use marquetry as a vessel for creativity to explore different motifs, patterns, and colors.
