Modern marquetry is the evolution of an age-old craft—taking the traditional technique of patterned wood surfaces and reimagining it for contemporary interiors. At Stratum Marquetry, we create patterned surfaces in the same spirit as traditional marquetry, but with an innovative twist: our materials are entirely reclaimed and recycled, and our methods are designed for sustainability and scalability.

Our signature range embodies this difference. Fully customisable and infinitely scalable, each design is crafted exclusively from locally sourced off‑cuts and recycled materials. These unique surfaces are not only sustainable but also luxurious, offering architects, interior designers, and homeowners the chance to integrate artistry and responsibility into their projects.

Whether it’s furniture, wall panelling, flooring, or bespoke artwork, Modern Marquetry allows interiors to showcase timeless craftsmanship while embracing modern values of sustainability, circularity, and creativity.
