Marquetry Furniture Maker

YANNICK CHASTANG DESIGN is a workshop which specialises in the manufacture of top-quality bespoke marquetry furniture.

Yannick Chastang is a graduate of the Ecole Boulle, Paris and his education included training in traditional and modern cabinet-making, design, marquetry and engraving. His designs have strong French and Classical influences derived from his close relationship with eighteenth-century and Art Deco original pieces, gained while working as a museum conservator. His aim is to make furniture of unrivalled excellence. He makes use of some of the most exotic and luxurious materials available today, from rare hard woods to shagreen and uses exclusively saw-cut veneers. His furniture is made using both traditional and innovative cabinet-making techniques. Marquetry plays an important part in all his designs, as does mechanical ingenuity.
