The collaboration between the Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council and ARE unveils a luxurious collection of home décor pieces that artfully combine Syrian craftsmanship, the traditional Emirati craft of Talli and the revered technique and precision artistry of mother of pearl inlay.
The Talli braids are meticulously crafted by intertwining and braiding various strands of cotton and metallic threads, resulting in exquisite, narrow strips of textile adorned with intricate, elaborate patterns. Passed down through generations, this art form embodies the treasured heritage of Emirati craftsmanship.
The mother of pearl inlay process entails the delicate cutting of thin pieces of mother of pearl, which are then embedded into wooden surfaces. The inlaid pieces are skilfully polished, lending a smooth and lustrous finish that accentuates the innate beauty of the material.
The collection represents a harmonious blend of grace and sophistication, infusing Middle Eastern allure into luxurious storage items and home decor, meticulously crafted from premium materials and exceptional craftsmanship.
