Surreal marquetry textures

  • • Line and Raphaël are passionate about 3D printing and design
  • • They both give courses in their respective subjects
  • • They aim to include details that stand out

Line Pierron and Raphaël Cuevas are a French tag team focused on bringing marquetry to the next level in innovative cabinetmaking. They came together thanks to their common sensitivities around design, craftsmanship and new technologies. Their collections of furniture and decorative objects cleverly combine the best of modern and traditional craftsmanship by joining 3D printed nylon technologies and handcrafted wooden structures. Their main approach is to stage gradual transitions of patterns into volumes. In their design studio, Line and Raphaël create unique or small series such as cabinets, lampshades, wall lights, doors, baskets and even jewellery, pushing their designs both technically and visually.

Miroir Etoile

This object brings together an entrance console and a mirror. The aim of the aesthetic was to obtain a simple eye catching object, which can be admired. The 3D printed nylon detail reinforces this impact and offers an innovative type of ornament.
