Adorning the tabletops are these porcelain pieces by Hans Tan. The sandblasting effect makes traditional ornaments relevant for the contemporary world

Mexico: Warm colours heat up our Mexican chamber. For the interiors, we appropriate and appreciate the rich craft and marquetry that is often tucked away in hidden pockets of the country.
