About the Item
Spring rain platter by Studio Lel
Dimensions: D 30.5 x H 30.5 x H 3 cm
Materials: marble
The word Ara is the onomatopoeic genus of the macaw, referencing the sounds made by the bright parrots depicted in every piece of the collection. Set in one of Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, the rainforest, motifs of luxuriant flora and fauna are handcrafted with semi-precious stones such as serpentine, amazonite and jade. Naturally occurring shades of green within the serpentine create an effect of shifting light within a rainforest, while toucans and parrots in bright blue lapis lazuli and contrasting resins are inlaid with precision. The result is an endlessly detailed, exotic vista.
These are handmade from semiprecious stone and marble in a small artisanal workshop. Please note that variations and slight imperfections are part of its design and unique charm.
Lél is an artistic collective dedicated to preserving and evolving the 16th century Florentine and Mughal art of hand-crafted stone inlay. Lél’s founder, Farhana Asad, became fascinated by the technique of inlaid stonework known as parchin kari or pietra dura when she came across an exquisite box in a bazaar in northern Pakistan 25 years ago. She eventually tracked down its maker, an Afghan craftsman who agreed to give her lessons in the technique in her garage at home. Ever since, the Lél artist collective that Asad founded has opened its doors to both local craftsmen and artisans escaping the war across the border and worked to preserve the craft’s knowledge and skills for future generations, as well as exploring the creative possibilities of the technique.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
