KOKET Unveils a New Era of Elegance with Straw Marquetry in the Celine Collection

Known for its bold vision and fearless use of rich, opulent materials, KOKET has long captivated the world of luxury design. From gleaming brass and polished mirror to sumptuous feathers, mother-of-pearl, and gemstones, the brand’s pieces are not merely furniture – they are statements of sophistication. Now, for Summer 2025, KOKET introduces a captivating new finish: straw marquetry, a delicate and time-honored craft brought into the spotlight with the debut of the Celine Collection.


A Fresh Texture of Luxury: The Allure of Straw Marquetry

 

Steeped in tradition yet brimming with modern appeal, straw marquetry is a technique rooted in the meticulous manipulation of natural straw. Much like its wooden counterpart, it involves splitting, soaking, and ironing thin strips of oat or wheat straw, sometimes dyed in subtle hues, and arranging them into intricate, light-catching patterns. The result is a surface of soft shimmer and depth—both organic and refined. For the first time, KOKET brings this artisanal technique into its design language, enhancing the brand’s identity as a true connoisseur of craftsmanship.

 

Introducing the Celine Armoire & Cabinet: Icons of Artistry

 

To mark this exciting chapter, KOKET’s founder, Janet Morais, and her design team have unveiled two stunning pieces: the Celine Armoire and the Celine Cabinet. Each creation features an elegant sunburst motif rendered in fine straw marquetry, radiating across the doors with graceful geometry and precision.

Paired with custom-cast curved brass handles and interiors finished in glossy black lacquer, these pieces embody KOKET’s signature blend of romantic glamour and technical mastery. Whether styled as a bedroom armoire, dining room sideboard, or dramatic entryway feature, the Celine designs are both functional and visually mesmerizing.

 

A New Chapter in Design Innovation

 

Bold in concept and exquisite in execution, the Celine Collection marks the beginning of a new design narrative for KOKET – one that celebrates the tactile beauty of natural materials in contemporary form. As the Summer 2025 collection unfolds, expect even more breathtaking straw-inlaid designs, each crafted to inspire and enchant. Straw marquetry has never looked so modern and luxurious. Stay tuned.
