SiO I is the first piece of a collection dedicated to straw and stone. The contrast between the warmth of the luminous black straw and the dense and uneven texture of the stone offers a captivating optical effect.

Straw of attraction
- • Manon was awarded Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2016
- • She runs a sustainable and innovation-friendly atelier
- • Her approach is collaborative, working with artists and designers
A made-up word derived from “paille”, meaning straw in French, Paelis is an atelier in Lyon dedicated to the craft of marquetry. Founded in 2016 by French craftswoman Manon Bouvier, Paelis has grown into a workshop that focuses on excellence, team work and sustainability. "No piece is achieved alone" says Bouvier, "I collaborate with carpenters, cabinetmakers, engineers.." adding that she is actively building a network to overcome challenges and always innovate. Having chanced upon this craft during the mandatory internship of her cabinetmaker training at the prestigious École Boulle in Paris, Manon has developed numerous trust-based partnerships from local producers of straw, contemporary artists to designers working with 3D-printed creations using starch filaments.

UNIO
UNIO was born from a collaboration between the Yszé workshop and Paelis. Inspired by the concept of the tangram, each part lined with brass is modular according to the client’s desires. Both brass and straw abilities to reflect light creates a unique and refined piece.
