VÉRONIQUE DE SOULTRAIT
VERONIQUE DE SOULTRAIT
Marquetry of cord, the little sister of marquetry of straw and wood, is a technique that allows for the creation of unique decorative panels and unique finishes for exceptional furniture. The Atelier Véronique de Soultrait has elevated this art to an unprecedented level, offering a new poetic and tactile dimension to interior decoration, for a result that transcends simple aesthetics.
Véronique de Soultrait's art stems from a fusion, a clever blend of reflection, practice, and reinvented tradition. While for her, beauty lies in simplicity, her works are the embodiment of refined luxury and are inspired as much by the magnetism of spirals as by the precision of a Mondrian's lines. From the banks of Paris to seaside restaurants, and prestigious addresses in Dubai and Shanghai, her art is exported and adorns places where beauty reigns supreme. Interior designers and architects are seduced by her wall decorations, partitions, doors, and claustra enhanced with fascinating compositions.
Véronique has a bold and refined approach to her craft. Her works strike the right balance between the old and the new, the crafted and the simple. She incorporates punk rock elements into her creations, intertwining gold thread and rubber or, even more surprisingly, kitchen string. Traits of a rebellious soul that form the thread of her art.
A fusion, a clever blend of reflection, practice, and reinvented tradition.
In her workshop, the cord transforms into decorative masterpieces that reflect Véronique's taste for experimentation and the blending of techniques. Each work is a testament to her know-how, her creative ardor, and her skill in bringing walls and doors to life, turning spaces into places filled with stories.
While her signature crosses borders, her heart remains in her workshop, a refuge filled with pottery, ethnic finds, and cord samples. Amid homemade dyes and scents of incense, Véronique develops her models in a back-and-forth between the unconscious maturation of ideas and rigorous technical application.
Then comes the time when, leaning over her workbench, she orchestrates the fabrication with passion and attention to detail, dedicating herself without counting to her meticulous art. For Véronique de Soultrait, it is a moment of deep satisfaction, where art blossoms, the design leaves its mark, and imagination takes flight.
