Lacquer

Lacquering is a meticulous painting (or varnishing) technique used to highlight and bring out curves and textures.

Successive layers of varnish reveal subtle new shades and colours. Applied in up to ten layers, the varnish brings out the material’s nuances and gives a sense of depth. Before the lacquering process begins, our painters analyse the forms of each object to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
