The craftsmen

Behind the door of a workshop tucked away in a narrow lane or round the corner of a village square, the craftsmanship of Lisula offers a glimpse of today’s Balagne. In L’Isula – L’Ile-Rousse – as in the villages of the hinterland, designers and craftspeople shape materials with rare precision, combining a mastery of traditional techniques with the freedom of contemporary design.

Stepping through the door of their shops means unearthing a unique piece, understanding the journey of an object and chatting with the person who conceived it. The visit then continues into the intimate setting of the workshop, bringing you up close to the tools and the creative process.
