Martine Bedin (Born in 1957)
As a designer, Martine Bedin stands out for her mischievous and poetic design. Born in France, she moved to Italy to study architecture. In 1980 she met Ettore Sottsas with whom she collaborated. They both joined other designers and founded the avant-garde movement Memphis, which ended in 1989. Martine Bedin then taught in several schools. While she initially created for the industry, since 1991 she has been focusing on the creation of unique furniture pieces.

Lison de Caunes (Born in 1948)
Creator of marquetry, Lison de Caunes has been working with straw for almost forty years. Following in the footsteps of her grandfather André Groult, decorator-engineer who popularized this craft during the Art Deco period, she continues a family tradition surrounded by her sister, her daughter and a workshop of ten people. If she learned her profession through restoration, she now creates wall panels, furniture and precious objects. It sometimes associates rye straw with mother-of-pearl, gold leaf or metal.
