In June 2014, we presented our first limited wall covering collection Le Mur using two signature materials – straw marquetry and shagreen.
TheLigne and Étoile collections offer hand-applied natural straw marquetry while raw shagreen is highlighted in the Perle collection. These rare and natural materials create exquisite plains of colour, texture and movement of reflected light. Using techniques mastered over several years, Alex developed a method for inlaying slivers of rye straw and panes of raw stingray skin into rigid panels that can be directly applied to vertical surfaces using standard application methods for wall panels.
Le Mur Wall Panels create surfaces that resonate with the traditions of the past and bring plains of colour, gentle reflective movement and textured interiors that call out to be touched and admired.
