surfaces: mother of pearl collection

Mother of Pearl is a traditional decorative material in Vietnam. The pieces are hand cut from pearl oyster shells. We preserve the original technique of hand applied and hand polished Mother of Pearl and natural lacquer. Eight layers of lacquer are applied to the substrate, dried and polished. Then the Mother of Pearl pieces are inlaid in a layer of wet lacquer. Another ten layers of black lacquer are applied, dried and polished. The Mother of Pearl is selected and cut from different parts of the shell for colour variation and degrees of opalescence. The form and pattern of the Mother of Pearl come from this selection and cutting process.
