He follows by the motto that best work always have little surprises that reveal themselves over time.

Maldivian Heron

Ardmore Ceramics, inspirational designers, born in the pastoral mid-lands’ valley, who drew the native, colourful and fantastic designs that embrace the African fauna and flora were drawn to Joali’s vision of an exotic getaway and overwhelmed to create an exclusive, one-off design for this luxurious lodge in the Maldives. This design is the romance of fragrant Frangipangi and the humid mangrove associated with the flight and elegance of the sea.

Maldives Vibes

Zemer Peled, examines the beauty and brutality of the natural world. The sculptural language is formed by her surrounding environment and landscapes and engages with themes of memories, identity and place. Maldives vibes is inspired by the rich, underwater world of the Maldives, with its intricate, delicate and colourful coral forms and the multitudinous organisms that call it home. Maldives Vibes immerses the viewer in to the underwater life, giving them the true Maldivian experience.

Kara
