The Living Soul of the Forest and the Sea.
CYPRUS
Our Nature & Wildlife collection is a celebration of the rich biodiversity of Cyprus and the wider natural world. Rather than forcing a rigid design onto the timber, we allow the organic twists, wild grains, and natural contours of ancient olive wood to dictate the form of each creature. Every sculpture is a collaborative dance between nature’s growth and the artisan’s chisel.
🐬 Featured Piece: The Olive Wood Dolphin
Carved from a single, highly characterful piece of wild olive timber, this sculpture captures the sleek, dynamic motion of the Mediterranean dolphin.
Look closely at the grain—the natural flowing lines of the wood mimic the rushing currents of the sea, while the rich, warm tones of the olive wood give the piece a vibrant, living warmth that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate. It stands as a tribute to the marine life that graces the coastlines of our island.
The Salt Lake Guardian of Cyprus
The natural world is an endless source of inspiration in our Layia workshop. Keep an eye on this collection as we bring new pieces to life, including our upcoming tribute to the elegant winter visitors of the Cyprus salt lakes—the Golden Flamingo.
