Lison de Caunes

Lison de Caunes was awarded the title of Maitre d’Art in 1998. Meeting her in her delicious and almost rural workshop of Paris’ 6th district is like a trip back in time... and what a trip ! She’s the one who’s restored straw marquetry to its former glory. This particular form of marquetry uses a modest material with a technique which isn’t... what a great artist !
