MAIA Bespoke, led by designer Surabhi Swarup, renowned for her mastery of the ancient Pietra Dura art form, is thrilled to announce the launch of its Pietra Dura Art Designer Table Collection. Surabhi, with a background in design from the Apeejay School of Design in Delhi, has captivated the global design community with her unique vision of inlaying semi-precious stones in marble to create luxurious, timeless pieces.
Rooted in the 16th-century Italian art form of Pietra Dura, which translates to “hard stone,” this intricate technique involves cutting and inlaying polished colored stones to create detailed images. Historically, Pietra Dura was used to adorn everything from royal furniture to grand architectural features. MAIA’s new Designer Table Collection revives this legacy, blending the elegance of traditional Pietra Dura with modern design sensibilities.
Each table in the collection is an art piece in its own right, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans trained to master this complex technique. The process begins with selecting the finest natural stones, including lapis lazuli, malachite, mother-of-pearl, and onyx, sourced responsibly to ensure sustainability. Artisans then shape and polish each stone, carefully fitting them into marble surfaces to create captivating designs that range from intricate floral motifs to bold geometric patterns.
The Pietra Dura Art Designer Table Collection offers a variety of designs tailored to both classic and contemporary interiors. Floral motifs, inspired by nature, grace the surfaces of coffee tables, evoking a sense of softness and organic beauty. Meanwhile, dining tables in the collection showcase striking geometric patterns, offering a modern twist that balances the traditional appeal of the craft with a fresh, contemporary edge.
Each table serves as a focal point within a room, drawing attention with its vibrant colors and textures. The natural beauty of semi-precious stones paired with the luxury of finely polished marble creates a unique visual experience that sparks conversation and admiration.
MAIA’s design philosophy is to elevate functional furniture into the realm of fine art. The Pietra Dura Art Designer Table Collection is crafted not only to serve a practical purpose but also to transform spaces. Each piece is designed to harmonize with a variety of interior styles, from minimalist apartments to grand traditional homes, making it an adaptable and cherished addition to any setting.
These tables are intended to be much more than mere furniture; they are statement pieces that reflect a homeowner’s appreciation for art, history, and luxury. Each table is unique, as the natural variations in stone ensure that no two pieces are alike. This exclusivity allows homeowners to enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind work of art.
In line with modern sustainable practices, MAIA’s Pietra Dura Art Designer Table Collection is crafted with environmental responsibility in mind. Stones are sourced responsibly, and every step of the crafting process is designed to minimize waste and reduce the environmental footprint. By blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, MAIA achieves greater precision and efficiency without compromising the art’s authenticity or cultural heritage.
Surabhi Swarup, founder and creative visionary of MAIA, commented, “The Pietra Dura Art Designer Table Collection is a reflection of our dedication to preserving an ancient craft while innovating to meet contemporary tastes. We believe that each table not only enhances a space but also connects its owners to the beauty of cultural heritage.”
The Pietra Dura Art Designer Table Collection is available by custom order, allowing clients to choose from an array of designs and stone combinations to suit their personal taste and interior style.
