Tableware Collection Santiago / Chile / 2012
1
Royal Mahuida is inspired by an Inca legend says they buried their gold in a Chilean forest. We imagine that someone could find those hidden treasures and delight by the beauty of forgotten gold.
This is a tribute to the forest for providing the precious metal, just like Mapuches, who made chalices, plates and bowls in its honor. This collection gets its geometry from the spiral growing of Araucaria, a Chilean native tree, through a geometric pattern that sometimes is continuous and sometimes discontinuous. It is named after a Mapudungun word, a Chilean native language that means ‘Native Forest’.
Royal Mahuida is made of bronze, a noble material that resembles gold, through die-casting in molds copied from 3D printed models.
