Intricacy and Intrigue

The design traditions of Central and South America may not be so well known here as, say, India or China, but a few trailblazers are starting to bring these regions’ exceptional craftsmanship to our attention. For example, this intricately carved, mid-century inspired ‘Villiers’ armoire is the work of Alfonso Marina, a Mexican manufacturer that Nicholas Haslam Ltd is now exclusively representing. Intriguingly, the armoire holds a secret: an interior that’s painted bright red.
