From Raw Board to Wall Art: A Journey Through Our Production Process
Each piece we create is more than just a decorative object — it's the result of expertise combining advanced technology, artisanal precision, and a deep love for natural wood. To offer you unique and durable creations, we follow a meticulous process where every step is essential. Here’s how our artworks are born, from raw wood to your wall.
1. Selecting the Wood: The Nobility of Poplar
It all begins with the careful selection of our poplar plywood panels — a light-colored, lightweight wood that’s easy to work with yet highly resistant. Each panel is individually inspected upon arrival at our workshop:
Visual appearance: checking for knots, cracks, or stains that could affect the final look.
Flatness: warped wood can compromise cutting precision.
Uniform thickness: essential for clean laser cuts.
2. Quality Control and Preparation Before Cutting
Before cutting, each panel is inspected, sanded, and cleaned if necessary. We then apply a special masking film to protect the wood surface from burn marks during laser cutting. This is a key step in ensuring a clean and polished result.
3. The Magic of Precision: Laser Cutting Process
Our designs are converted into digital files compatible with our CO₂ laser cutting machine. Here’s how it works:
A high-precision laser (around 0.1 mm — the thickness of a hair) is guided by a motorized arm.
The laser heats and vaporizes the wood with incredible precision, enabling clean cuts and intricate shapes that would be impossible by hand.
Each piece is cut without contact, avoiding any mechanical stress or deformation.
This operation is subcontracted to a specialized partner, allowing us to benefit from a high-performance industrial machine. We then receive the cut pieces at our workshop.
4. Reception, Sorting, and Post-Cutting Inspection
Each piece is manually received, sorted, and inspected:
Clean edges.
No defects or burn marks.
Accurate match with the original design file.
Non-compliant pieces are discarded and, if necessary, reordered for production.
5. Painting and Manual Finishing
Once approved, the pieces move on to the painting stage:
Thin coats are applied based on the client’s chosen model, so the wood’s texture remains visible.
Drying time is respected (at least 24 hours between each coat).
Final touches are done with a brush or cloth, depending on the desired effect: matte, satin, aged, or raw.
Each color is tested and harmonized in advance to ensure a balanced visual result.
6. Assembly, Gluing, and Mounting
The different parts of the artwork are then carefully glued, sometimes on multiple levels (for a 3D effect), using templates to ensure perfect alignment.
We then attach the wall-mounting systems to the back (hooks, sawtooth hangers, or magnetic systems depending on the model), so your decor is ready to hang as soon as you receive it.
7. Packaging and Shipping
Once completed, the artworks are carefully:
Cleaned and checked one final time.
Packed using protective, often recycled or recyclable, materials.
Accompanied by a presentation card with hanging and care instructions.
The order is then shipped via a selected carrier depending on the destination, ensuring fast and secure delivery.
