Nothing predestined Pierre-Henri Beyssac for woodworking. It was during a wandering academic career that he discovered marquetry, a decisive encounter with an unpredictable material that would become his medium of expression.
Trained at the Boulle School, from which he graduated with a Master of Fine Arts (DMA), he continued his apprenticeship in Italy at the European Restoration Center in Florence, then established a workshop in Réunion Island for the IRMA. Upon his return, he joined the Spindler workshop near Strasbourg, where he enriched his practice with contemporary techniques and approaches. After five years of teaching at the Boulle School, he chose to settle between Paris and the Drôme region to devote himself fully to creation.

Elected Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France) in marquetry in 2015, Pierre-Henri Beyssac tirelessly explores the boundaries of his art. Through Atelier Beyssac, he blends traditional craftsmanship with innovation, developing numerous collaborations with haute couture, architecture, and luxury brands. He explores marquetry as a living language, open to decoration, furniture, and art objects.

His approach remains driven by one constant: spontaneity of gesture. Inspired by nature, he also creates unique pieces, guided by a sensitivity to materials, textures, and colors.

Alongside his creative work, he is committed to sharing his expertise. Since 2021, he has been teaching wood marquetry at the Puy-en-Velay prison, thus extending his social and educational commitment.

Between artisanal mastery and creative freedom, Pierre-Henri Beyssac embodies a generation of creators reinventing the crafts without ever betraying their essence.
