Lison&#8217;s works are delicately crafted\u2014with\u200b coloring ranging from straw&#8217;s natural color to beautiful jewel tones. Each work of art contains stunning visual interest in the variation between the lines of individual straw.

Her goal was to make this forgotten craft fashionable again. In the 1970s, Lison began her quest to show that straw marquetry could be affiliated with contemporary designs and interiors. As the only person working in straw marquetry for the last twenty years, Lison is delighted to see the technique rising in popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing her studies at the Union Centrale des Arts D\u00e9coratifs in Paris, Lison began to cultivate her talent by restoring straw marquetry antiques and furniture from the Art Deco period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using rye straw cultivated and harvested in the old style from Burgundy, France, Lison begins by drying and dying it. She then opens and flattens it leaving it ready for application. This process creates a natural polish, explaining the luminous quality of her straw marquetry\u200b work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/accueil-10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lison-eggs.png\" alt=\"colorful eggs by lison de caunes\" class=\"wp-image-31243\" style=\"width:710px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lison-eggs.png 710w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lison-eggs-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Oeufs by Lison de Caunes | Photo by Gilles Trillard | Courtesy of APR<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Lison dedicates her time to designing furniture, wall panels, and interior decor in her personal straw marquetry line, Lison de Caunes Cr\u00e9ations.

Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-happens-what-led-you-to-decide-to-begin-your-career-in-restoration-did-this-decision-help-shape-your-career-today\"><strong>Love Happens: What led you to decide to begin your career in restoration? Did this decision help shape your career today?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lison de Caunes: I began with restoration because this is what people came to me for! It was not really a decision. Straw marquetry was not fashionable, so I focused on restoration which helped me to increase my understanding of straw marquetry. In the meantime, I was also creating small pieces of furniture for myself or my family mainly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-happens-did-a-particular-piece-created-by-or-moment-with-your-grandfather-that-sparked-your-passion-for-straw-marquetry-or-did-this-specialization-evolve-more-organically\"><strong>Love Happens: Did a particular piece created by, or moment with your grandfather that sparked your passion for straw marquetry? Or did this specialization evolve more organically?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lison de Caunes: Straw marquetry is a childhood memory for me. I first discovered the material and the technique in my grandfather\u2019s workshop. But I remember very clearly when I was a child in my house in Brittany, there was a big and beautiful straw marquetry screen that my grandfather had made for the Exposition des Arts D\u00e9coratifs in 1937.\u200b \u200bThis piece always impressed me, so I decided to restore it after my grandfather died. It was my very first attempt with straw marquetry, and this is what made me really passionate about the material. The original screen is still with me in my workshop today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-happens-when-it-comes-to-your-craft-what-is-the-most-important-thing-you-learned-from-your-grandfather\"><strong>Love Happens: When it comes to your craft, what is the most important thing you learned from your grandfather?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lison de Caunes: Everything! From the tools, to the patterns\u2026 When I began, I took a lot of my inspiration from his creations as well as Jean Michel Frank\u2019s, who has been a really important figure in the renewal of straw marquetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/guilty-pleasures\/casegoods\/euphoria-screen.php?utm_source=LH_Blog_Article&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_Article&amp;utm_content=euphoria-screen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-7.jpeg\" alt=\"euphoria screen koket luxury floor screens butterfly home decor\" class=\"wp-image-97364\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-happens-what-was-your-favorite-project-with-an-interior-designer-to-date-who-was-the-designer-and-what-did-you-create-if-you-have-more-than-one-favorite-please-feel-free-to-share\"><strong>Love Happens: What was your favorite project with an interior designer to date?

He came to me with several pattern propositions that I made in straw marquetry as prototypes. He then chose himself the one he liked the most. It took us around three months to complete, and I had to hire five more people to help me work on this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-happens-i-imagine-the-design-process-is-often-collaborative-but-please-tell-me-more-about-this-once-the-design-is-final-how-do-you-begin-the-creation-process\"><strong>Love Happens: I imagine the design process is often collaborative, but please tell me more about this. Once the design is final, how do you begin the creation process?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lison de Caunes: Most of the time, designers or interior designers come to us with a project &#8211; table, cabinets, and entire rooms &#8211; that they want to be covered in straw. We then choose with them the best pattern and colour. We receive MDF panels or MDF pieces of furniture in our workshop in Paris, where everything is made either by me or the artisans who work at the workshops. When the project is entire walls, the panels are then sent on-site and installed, and we then come to do the final touch-ups and finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-do-projects-take-on-average\"><strong>How long do projects take on average?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Time-wise, it depends on every project, but it takes approximately four days to produce one square meter of the simplest pattern, which is vertical straw. It can take up to one week per square meter for a more complicated pattern. There are not a lot of stages. First, we need to open and flatten the straw, then we glue it on the panels, and that\u2019s it! There is no need to apply any varnish or finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, around ten years ago, Leila Menchari asked me to reproduce eight Hermes silk scarves in straw marquetry for the rue Saint Honor\u00e9 windows of the Hermes boutique. I had to dye the straw myself, using the fish poacher in my own kitchen. The result was amazing, but it required a tremendous amount of work. I only had one month to complete the project, so I hired ten people to help me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/accueil-10.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APR-Lison-de-Caunes-Tab-683x1024.png\" alt=\"straw marquetry cocktail table by lison de caunes\" class=\"wp-image-31249\" style=\"width:710px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APR-Lison-de-Caunes-Tab-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APR-Lison-de-Caunes-Tab-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APR-Lison-de-Caunes-Tab.png 710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Madras Cocktail Table by Lison de Caunes | Courtesy of APR<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-happens-what-led-you-to-decide-to-launch-a-furniture-line-do-you-like-this-more-less-different-than-creating-for-interior-designers\"><strong>Love Happens: What led you to decide to launch a furniture line? Do you like this more\/less\/different than creating for interior designers?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lison de Caunes: I had a lot of ideas for pieces of furniture in straw marquetry.
