From Mango Groves to Modern Homes: A Journey in Mango Wood Furniture
Here at Casa Bella, we are all about creating distinctive interiors with timeless pieces. Recently, our team ventured on an exciting trip to India, where we traced the fascinating journey of one of our favourite materials: mango wood!
We thought you might enjoy joining us on this adventure, from the lush mango groves to the skilled workshops where these beautiful pieces are crafted. So, grab a cuppa and settle in for a glimpse into the life of a mango wood furniture masterpiece!
Part 1: From Tree to Timber
Our adventure began amidst the vibrant green landscapes of India, where mango trees grow tall and proud. Did you know that once a mango tree reaches maturity, it can continue to produce delicious fruit for years? It is only when the fruit production slows that the wood is harvested, ensuring responsible use of this valuable resource.
Part 2: The Hands of Artisanship
Next, we travelled to our bustling workshops where skilled artisans work their magic. The use of mango wood in furniture making is a long-standing tradition, and the techniques employed have been passed down through generations. We were mesmerised by the meticulous process, from the careful selection of wood grains to the intricate hand-carving that brings each piece to life. Look out for some amazing new ranges being added soon!
Part 3: A Touch of Modernity
While tradition is deeply valued, our pieces have that special modern touch that makes them timeless. We saw firsthand the creation of our exciting new Acacia range, where the beautiful wood is paired with sleek metal runners for a touch of contemporary style. We also got a glimpse of the time-honoured practice of hand-lacquering, which not only protects the wood but also enhances its natural beauty.
Part 4: A Journey's End, But a Story's Beginning
Finally, the finished pieces – each one imbued with the story of its creation – are ready to embark on their final journey: to your homes! We know you’ll appreciate the warmth, character, and craftsmanship that goes into every piece of mango wood furniture from Casa Bella.
This is just the first peek into our Indian expedition. Stay tuned for future blog posts where we’ll delve deeper into the world of Indian craftsmanship and share more about our latest collections, including our stunning new ranges!
