Design duo Adam and Arthur created the ‘Exquisite Corpse’ collection: a series of three handmade furniture pieces decorated with a modern take on straw marquetry in vibrant, custom-dyed colors.

Australian industrial designer Adam Goodrum and French marquetry artisan Arthur Seigneur worked with artisan cabinet makers to build the furniture, which was then covered with straw marquetry: the 17th-century art of creating hand-crafted decorative patterns from thin, flattened strips of hand-dyed rye straw.

Each strand of straw is unique, which gives the inlaid surfaces a natural irregularity and creates a painterly quality. "Straw reflects light like no other lacquer in the world," Seigneur said. "Ecologically, straw is a wonderful material that has a minimal impact on our planet and is very fast and sustainable to grow."

The duo wanted to exploit "the power of color" in its work and chose vibrant, custom-dyed hues for the marquetry.
