Traditional leather work and wood shaping technique

All materials arrive in a raw state at Maison Dressage's atelier. They rigorously control, refine, and hand-cut leather. They follow a traditional method of shaping wood that requires time and precision. It provides hand-cut, oil and hand-curve wood, using a mould on which the wood laths are positioned and steamed until they bend. They treat and solder raw brass by hand to prevent oxidation.
