Laura Inguaggiato
After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cabinet Making in France, Laura began her career at Atelier Lison de Caunes in Paris. Here she learned the art of Straw Marquetry, a craft that’s opened the possibility of artistic expression in interior design.
Since arriving in Melbourne she has worked for Adam Goodrum and Arthur Seigneur on Straw Marquetry and project monitoring, blending the frontier between art and craft and mixing traditional high end skills with new technology.
Laura regularly works on her own projects, experimenting with patterns and effects on a diverse range of homewear objects. Her past work has been exhibited during Paris Design Week and she is published in Australian Wood Review.
