The Nizwa family of furniture is inspired by the rounded castellations of the Nizwa Fort in Oman and the ombre colour effect caused by the way the sunlight falls across them. Craft – The elegant pattern is meticulously crafted by hand using an ancient technique of marquetry which involves carefully inlaying sections of wood to create a pattern or image. Each door contains one hundred and eighteen maple veneer ‘petals’. The Italian maple veneers are specially selected and dyed immediately after being cut from the tree when still ‘wet’ resulting in deeper, richer colours. The Ombre effect is created by hand-shading each veneer, a technique mastered by our craftspeople in Muscat.
