Gill & Franks (G&F) is delighted to unveil Pintark’s latest innovation, Straw Marquetry Wall Art, at the Surface Design Show 2025. This exceptional collection reimagines a centuries-old decorative craft, blending tradition with contemporary aesthet- ics to offer sustainable, bespoke solutions for luxury interiors.

A Heritage Reborn

Straw marquetry, a decorative art form dating back to the 1600s, has been revived by Pintark to deliver a fresh perspective on luxury wall surfaces. Using flattened and dyed rye straw, artisans craft intricate patterns that shimmer with natural brilliance. This artisanal technique, previously celebrated during the Art Deco period, is now poised to captivate modern designers and architects seeking a blend of sophistication, sustainability, and innovation.

The Straw Marquetry Collection

Pintark’s Straw Marquetry wall art offers:

• Vivid Visual Appeal: The natural shine and rich textures of straw create mesmerizing finishes that change with light,

making each panel a living work of art.

• Custom Designs: Tailored to individual spaces, each panel is handcrafted to achieve unique patterns, colours, and com- positions, allowing designers to create signature interiors.
• Eco-Friendly Craftsmanship: Straw, a renewable resource, embodies Pintark’s commitment to sustainability. The low-impact production process ensures that each piece aligns with the principles of ethical luxury.

Modern Luxury Meets Sustainability

The Straw Marquetry collection is not just a testament to craftsmanship but also a solution for contemporary design chal- lenges. Lightweight and transport-friendly, the panels are adaptable to various interior applications, from feature walls to decorative accents. These surfaces offer timeless elegance while promoting environmentally conscious practices.

“Straw marquetry is a celebration of the past and a vision for the future,” says Judy Franks, Co-Founder of Gill & Franks. “By reimagining this traditional craft for today’s interiors, we’ve created a product that speaks to sustainability, individuality, and the enduring allure of natural materials.”

Ethical Crafting for Modern Interiors

Pintark’s dedication to ethical luxury extends beyond sustainability. The handcrafted nature of straw marquetry supports traditional artisans and promotes low-energy, small-scale production methods. These principles not only result in stunning designs but also foster a meaningful connection between creators, clients, and the spaces they inhabit.
