Welcome!

Hi, I’m Rob and I create bespoke pieces of furniture, wall art, and decorative objects using the stunningly beautiful craft of straw marquetry.

I work on commissioned projects for clients who want one-of-a-kind statement pieces that elevate the spaces they occupy.

Each straw marquetry piece is lovingly handmade by me in my studio in Crete using traditional methods and imported rye straw from Burgundy, France.

MY BACKGROUND

My career prior to discovering straw marquetry had always been within a creative environment, but I’d always wanted to work with my hands, to be a skilled craftsman and to craft beauty.

In 2014, I re-trained as a furniture maker at The Chippendale International School of Furniture in Scotland and it was there that I first heard about straw marquetry.

In 2017, I went to Paris and learned the craft at the renowned Ateliers Lison de Caunes. I’ve been working with straw ever since.
