A design with its roots in nature plus classic architectural form
A branch that seems to grow from the earth and touches one of architecture's purest forms that of a classic Greek “Erechtheum capital”
“Nature and architecture as one”
Our chief designer Philip Dutton-White is a Master of the Royal Society of Artists & Designers with over 50 years experience in his craft.
The design of "Rebirth of an Empire" was originally inspired by the Greek Temple of Erechtheion, a temple on the Acropolis built in the 5th century B.C. It contains famous examples of Ionic architecture, the highest architectural art of the ancient Greek period.
Our designer, Philip White, was deeply moved by the Ionic capitals when he traveled to Greece for inspiration. The swirling pattern of the column head, with its water-like movement. it's a natural element that any of us can appreciate.
everything about design comes from nature in the first place. The temple of Erechtheion, which lies in ruins today, remains a sorrowful but not a cultural ruin.
as nature and art live on, as you can see in the rebirth of the empire.
With the idea of narrating history from another dimension, the initial design of the Ionian column head was decided. we can imagine that we are back in the Greek temple, and after thousands of years, a tree in the center of the ruins is like the hope of new life. buries its roots in the ground and extends its branches to the sky, intersecting with the column head, reborn from the ruins; born from the desolation; recreated from the ruins; recreated from the changes of time. recreated; from time to time reborn. --The Rebirth of Empire
Natural Stone - Carrara White
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. This quote is from the great sculptor of the Italian Renaissance-Michelangelo Buonarroti.
in his eyes, the cold and ordinary marble is transparent and spiritual. In order to find the most suitable marble, Michelangelo personally went to the Carrara quarry in Italy to choose the stone, his famous sculptures "David", "Saint Gothic" and "Moses" are all from Carrara white marble.
Our designer Phillip White traveled to the Italian mines of Carrara to search for stone during the design period in order to bring out the most artistic and best materials.
a legacy of craftsmanship from another era.
Hand-carved brass branches for a luxurious combination.
Hand-carved brass branches for a luxurious combination.
Brass is an alloy composed of copper and zinc, with a strong historical atmosphere. With the development of science and technology, brass, with its golden color that doesn't fade, has gradually evolved into an irreplaceable decorative element in interior design.
For this design, our designer focused on the combination of brass and marble, The brass tree branches symbolize the rebirth of the empire, bringing hope and indicating new beginnings.
Both brass and marble come with a sense of luxury, and when combined, they complement each other perfectly. The high-quality texture of brass matches the warm and restrained marble, creating a strong artistic tension visually.
The tabletop is supported by a 20mm tempered glass, which perfectly showcases the dynamic of the marble and brass column. The encounter between brass and glass refracts the luxury of brass and accentuates the agility of glass. The pure glass design of the tabletop exhibits a strong classical vibe and exquisite craftsmanship from any angle.
Factory production process
From the drafting of design drawings to factory production
From the model to the finished product
Half a ton of marble is carved from the raw stone, because we know that marble comes from nature and has its own pattern, and that any form of cutting would destroy the continuity of the vein.
Inspired by the temples of Greece, our designers traveled to several countries in search of the splendor of the Renaissance, in order to give the marble a new soul and release the life force imprisoned in it.
A sculptural table, this is the rebirth of an empire.
