A beautifully sculpted couple are draped in each other’s arms as their bronze finish offsets the regal throne of purple amethyst atop which they sit. A fuchsia clock fashioned from a large agate stone, casts a striking effect with its naturally occurring variations of colour. A silver oyster shell, open to display the shining pearl within, is created in such painstaking detail as to make the viewer second guess whether it’s been crafted by nature or man.
These are examples of the distinctive home décor items by Ebano. Ever since it opened in 1983 in Barcelona, Spain, this brand has become famous for its pieces crafted in semi-precious stones and sculptures in pure metals. Now, Ebano’s unique wares are available in India for the first time, exclusively at STRROT, a luxury interiors store in New Delhi.
Ebano’s pieces are made with the lost wax casting process, where a negative mold cast from the artist’s original sculpture is painted with layers of liquid wax and filled with refractory material, which is later melted and replaced with fused bronze. The resulting work is delicate yet sturdy—a perfect bridge between global design and India’s aesthetic sensibilities that appreciate timeless craftsmanship and contemporary allure in equal measure.
As Sidhant Lamba, founder of STRROT, puts it, “The hand-carved artistry of Ebano provides a multi-sensory design experience which redefines the concept of opulence in the gifting and decor sector in India.”
