AMAURY DARRAS

XYLOMANCIA combines design and technical innovation, fusing cabinetmaking, sculpture, marquetry, sewing, modeling and pattern-making. Amaury Darras, the brand's founder, holds a diploma in cabinetmaking from the École Boulle, and his work is part of a commitment to new, more sustainable modes of production.

In November 2023, he collaborates with singer BJÖRK for her concert in Leipzig, as part of her European tour. Current projects include a sculpture for Nina Ricci in collaboration with Harris Reed.

The Heritage & Culture Grant supports XYLOMANCIA in its project to develop an artistic collection of fine woodwork for fashion.
