Hello, I'm Ysa
Founder of Maison Deysa
I design decorative objects and fashion accessories using 3D printing.
After obtaining a BTS, a DSAA product design at the BOULLE school as well as several corporate experiences, I decided to challenge myself and create my company by offering a style of decoration that changes and stands out with a strong and recognizable universe.

The decorations and accessories are designed to bring a touch of originality and elegance to an interior, while telling an authentic story deeply rooted in my Breton roots.
My journey
Source of inspiration
The story begins when, as a child, my paternal grandmother introduced me to her daily art of living: Glazig embroidery. Due to its complexity and beauty, the interweaving of colored threads became a real source of inspiration. Although the action of "embroidering the canvas" did not become a full-time activity for me, the desire to showcase this know-how in my objects was present.
Glazig embroidery
Glazig embroidery is a form of traditional Breton embroidery, originating from the Quimper region of Brittany, France. It is distinguished by its colorful patterns and specific stitches, often made with silk or wool threads.
During an introductory embroidery course with Pascal Jaouen, I had the opportunity to explore certain techniques and varieties of stitches (chain, scallop, etc.)

Origin and History
Glazig embroidery takes its name from the Breton word "glaz", which means blue, a color often present in traditional embroidery.
It is historically associated with traditional Breton costumes, particularly those worn by men during festivals and ceremonies.
Patterns and Design
Typical patterns include spirals, scrolls, interlacing and nature-inspired motifs such as leaves and flowers.
The designs are often symmetrical and can be quite complex.
Colors
Glazig embroidery traditionally uses a palette of bright, contrasting colors. Blue, red, yellow and green are frequently used.
Modern use
Today, glazig embroidery is often used to decorate modern clothing, accessories, bags and even home decor items.
It has experienced a revival thanks to the interest in popular arts and traditions, as well as the work of contemporary embroiderers who adapt traditional techniques to modern creations.
Material
Embroidery is done with silk, wool or cotton threads on linen or wool fabrics.
Tools include specific needles and embroidery hoops to keep the fabric taut.
