LIGNES\/auto: what was the starting brief for this very specific interior?<\/strong>
Thierry M\u00e9troz: “Right from the outset, I explained that I didn’t want leather or wood on board. So this is the first DS concept-car without leather or wood. We started from the premise that we have a good command of how they are made. So this concept is an opportunity to extend our field of expertise to other materials and to meet craftsmen who master other skills.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, leather and wood are finished at DS ?<\/strong>
Th.M.: “No, we’re not abandoning wood and leather. We’re looking for alternative solutions and the teams were challenged on that ! For example, I asked them to look at the track on the\u2026 straw. \u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprising this material on board a car ! How did you come up with this idea ?
<\/strong>Th.M.: “I discovered straw marquetry two years ago, during the Parisian Revelations show at the Grand Palais. We were partners. This show showcases exceptional craftsmanship and know-how in France. I wanted to try out this material on board because we start with a raw material that is as frugal as possible, which exists all over the world. We collaborated with the Ateliers de Lison de Caunes in Paris, which uses a straw that comes from Burgundy (*).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
