traditional skills

masterfully applied

material   Most of our shells come from molluscs that are harvested for food in coastal communities (hatchet shell, troca shell). Instead of discarding them, we encourage their collection and cleaning for inlay. This supplements fishing incomes. Some shells have traditional decorative value (capiz, abalone). Where this is the case, we are conscious of the risk of over-harvesting and aim actively to manage this. The shells are inlaid and left unsealed so that their natural pearlescence is unspoiled. We enhance the beauty of the shell by various methods: selecting for colour, cutting in different shapes, cracking and crushing.

finishes   The standard finish is laminated, smooth, high gloss (90 sheen). Option: Laminated, smooth, matt.

substrate    The standard substrate is 30 mm MDF. For alternatives please consult our technical specifications, www.naturesquared.com/technical_info.htm.
