In lovingof memory
Mark Roland Shand
“Mark was one of the last English adventurers. A born athlete with a good heart and great daring and a master story teller. He was friends with the world . We met, while young in Bali , approximately 40 years ago, and liked each other, helped one another and he became a tutor to our children . In a way, he was their hero. He was a great supporter of Lotus Arts de Vivre and took a continuous interest in what we were designing and doing. We spent many good times together in Bangkok , Pattaya, Bali , India, London and that is our memory of Mark . Mark was passionate about elephants. I remember taking him to see His Majesty’s white elephants when they were still kept in Chitralada Palace in Bangkok . He impressed everyone when he gently caressed their tongues, a gesture not generally known that elephants love . Roman Polanski with his newly wedded wife , Emmanuelle , were also there and made us all laugh with his funny remarks. Our family, and his friends in Bangkok will remember him, so will the elephants of this world . We all have lost a friend .

Wooden Eagle The eagle is one the largest and most powerful birds of prey. Soaring high above the earth, spying its prey with its keen eyes, the eagle presents a majestic picture. Fascinated by its grandeur, Lotus Arts de Vivre has captured its essence with this piece of teak root by emphasizing its strongest features with casted sterling silver and its eyes unmistakably brought out by tiger’s eye quartz.
