This piece is called Cassandra, a bedside table, and has some Greek mythological inspirations.

She spent a night at Apollo’s temple at which time the temple snakes licked her ears clean so that she was able to hear the future. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions. She is a figure both of the epic tradition and of tragedy, where her combination of deep understanding and powerlessness exemplify the ironic condition of humankind.

LOTUS | Welcome spring!

A sense of warmth is tapping at the door; 

And hope, a feeling out from distant lore 
– Or so it seems – clears the deep refrain!

Emerging youth: a dormant lea awakes.
The raging colour, singing loud, partakes
In annual birth – spring is born again!

A zest anew for nascent life 
Begins in floral train: 
Carriage one: a snowdrop thrill; 
Carriage two: the crocus; 
Number three, a daffodil – dancing, 
Drawing focus – as she would, 
Attention seeker!

How I love our spring: 
The bold and sleeker feel I get, 
An inner glow, a ring! 
I’ve paid the winter’s chilly debt, so
Now upon the wing!

- Mark R Slaughter 2010

From new life to death, from purity to passion, Lotus have had many meanings in myths and legends. Swelling from tender bud to full bloom, flowers are associated with youth, beauty, pleasure and the season of Spring: the season of growth and transition.

This Desk intents to capture exactly that: the transition from the hard and cold Winter to the blooming and joyful Spring which we love so much.

BOREAS | Devouring One

BOREAS, and it’s inspired in the Greek God of the cold North Winter and the bringer of Winter. His name means “North Wind” or “Devouring One”. Boreas is depicted as being very strong, with a violent temper to match.Therefore, we designed a piece loaded with a strong personality, detail and metallic colors, symbolizing ice structures.The interior has a repeated pattern structure painted in copper, simbolizing the devouring personality of Boreas, and two glass shelfs.

LUSITANO | The new Kingdom

LUSITANO is a chiffonier for the Unique Edition. It was inspired in “Os Lusíadas”, usually translated as “The Lusiads”; a Portuguese epic poem by Luís Vaz de Camões. Written in Homeric fashion, the poem focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. The heroes of the epic are theLusiads, the sons of Lusus or in other words, the Portuguese. In these strophes, Camões speaks of Viriathus and Sertorius, the people of Lusus, a people predestined by the Fates to accomplish great deeds. Jupiter says that their history proves it because this tiny nation has gone on to discover new worlds. At the end of the poem, on Love Island, a fictional finale of the glorious Portuguese walk throughout history, Camões writes that the fear once expressed by Bacchus has been confirmed: that the Portuguese would become Gods.

The extraordinary Portuguese discoveries and the “new kingdom that they exalted so much” in the East, the extraordinary deeds of “Strong Castro” (the viceroy D. João de Castro), who had died some years before the poet’s arrival to Indian Lands, and a tour taken by our team to the Guimarães Palace, were the main inspirations for conceiving this amazing and luxurious piece. Blackwood timber, gold  leaf and Indian hand-painted pattern, create the perfect harmony to combine all the inspirations.
