The surface of the walls that surround us and the materials used have a definite influence on the feeling of well-being that a space gives us.
Improving your home often involves tedious steps that can be discouraging.
The originality of ‘Parementerre’ is that it combines the qualities of clay-based plaster with the advantages of using cladding, i.e. a covering that is easy to install on walls or partitions. It’s a system made up of rectangular elements fixed side by side on wooden uprights to form a finished, vertical, flat surface.
The modules, which measure a standard 60 x 30 cm, are created from wooden frames inside which a raw earth plaster is applied. They are produced entirely by hand, and the colours and textures can be worked in very different ways.
In addition to simplifying the use of raw earth plaster, by offering a dry solution, “Parementerre” is also a support for collaborations. I team up with ethical and inspired designers to offer you unique wall spaces.
Earth is the result of the decomposition of rocks, from large stones down to the smallest elements, clays. There are many different types of clay. Combined with water, they stick to other elements, such as sand and fibres, to produce resistant coatings when dry.
No cooking! This means that very little energy is used in the manufacture of mortar, which can be reused at the end of its life or returned to the earth without any negative impact.
Sand is becoming a scarce resource, the exploitation of which is problematic. In response to this reality, I correct the earth mainly by adding natural fibres (cereal straw, hemp, etc.). They allow me to work with cracking by limiting it without completely prohibiting it.
The surfaces on which I apply my coatings are made of solid wood from French forests. Most often Landes pine, we can also use more noble species (oak, ash, beech, etc.) on the visible parts of the final work.
