Every piece in Lotus' portfolio – Masterpieces, Jewelry, Home Décor, and Accessories – is handcrafted and tells our story. Lotus Arts de Vivre, being rooted in Asia, is highly inspired by nature and the culture and mythology of the region, making use of noted rare and auspicious naturally occuring materials, such as coconut shells, scarab wings, ebony and precious woods, sea shells, bamboo and teak to create art, just to name the tip of the iceberg of Lotus' entire material inventory. In terms techniques, the brand also travels throughout Asia in search of the originators or masters of a craft, such as India for gem-cutting, Indonesia for wood carving, Thailand for Niello work, Japan for Makie Lacquer and China for Cinnabar Lacquer.
