About
« My artistic influences go towards a more contemporary marquetry. Marquetry is too often associated with an aging style. »
After his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in Yverdon-les-Bains, Bastien Chevalier worked for the Philippe Monti cabinetmaker in Sainte-Croix, specializing in cigar and music boxes. He perfected his skills with Jérôme Boutteçon, best worker in France. Imprinted with a particularly modern aura, Bastien Chevalier’s achievements have earned him several international awards.
« There is nothing without nothing in marquetry: it is imperative to master the technique. »
Since 2003, Bastien Chevalier has been working in his own studio. His clients include, among others, the automation maker François Junod, but also big names in luxury watchmaking, such as Vianney Halter, Saskia Maaike, Yvan Arpa, Parmigiani and Vacheron Constantin. Recognized expert, he trains a few trainees from the Ecole Supérieure des Métiers d’Art Boulle in Paris.
