- Boiserie, a distinctive style of fine wood paneling from 17th and 18th-century France, exhibits extraordinary craftsmanship and commitment to detail. Guillaume Féau, a third-generation owner of a Paris-based company that specializes in restoring and reproducing boiseries, leads a unique tour of one of the finest examples of this style of design: Claude Nicolas Ledoux's "Four Continents."
In this episode of Great Rooms, Guillaume welcomes viewers to the stunning reproduction of the Ledoux room at Féau Boiseries' workshop in Paris, and discusses its qualities with renowned architect Andrew Skurman. Next, Guillaume meets with Nicolas Kugel at the Kugel Gallery, where the original panels are installed with an exquisite array of Japanese lacquer.

Boiserie est beau
Ooh la la

Excessive camera movement was very annoying, especially the jumpy camera during the interaction. Marred the presentation and quality of the vid.
Agreed. It also doesn’t match the aesthetic of the channel. It should be something placid and focused on details.
great style but no soul like only louis Viton people would have that and think it reflects a personality they dont have
Turn down ur crappy soundtrack
