ELEMENTS

2012

Spark is all about the energy that ignites the creative process.

It is the journal of nature’s influence not yet harnessed and wonders not yet expressed. In this issue, we explore the spark that connects us with our physical environment.

It is a celebration not just of the way we can create moods with our surroundings, but of the four elements that pulse all around us, affecting the way we feel inside. Fire, Water, Air and Earth. Since the beginning of time, they have defined the world we live in. Now, each element is an inspiration for new environments—ones that immerse your guests in the particular quality that defines your location.

Paris, Rome, Hong Kong—places that bring millions of souls together evoke Fire. Water lures people to beaches from Australia and Belize to the Seychelles and the Maldives. Air is so vital to our creativity, the act of inhaling is called inspiration. This explains the allure of altitude, and mountain destinations. We sense earth in the fertile jungles of the tropics, where trees grow three feet in a day. The elements are all around us. No wonder they inspire us to create dream spaces and beautiful furniture to fill them.

The city is a living, breathing being—so filled with energy that its forces surge through the very walls of its buildings. Igniting passions previously unawakened, as the weekend unfurls like a carpet of fiery red rose petals.

DIAMOND BEDROOM SUITE To melt a diamond, it must be heated to 6,413°F. The Diamond bedroom collection is inspired by this kind of heat. Beautiful, timeless and rock-solid, it is the perfect backdrop for a smoldering weekend in the city.

In folklore and mythology, the element of water is associated with emotion and intuition.

Scientists say the human body is made up of 57% of water. Perhaps that’s why it always feels so good to return.

POINT BREAK DECK CHAIR AND OTTOMAN Like the tubular chamber of a breaking wave, this body-cradling outdoor chair provides a perfect place to experience nature. Finished with the look of driftwood, it becomes part of the landscape on any beach or waterfront.

Invisible and yet completely essential, air is the element that toys with our hair, blows things into our paths and plays with the clouds that float over our heads, pulling them into ever changing shapes, inviting us to imagine all kinds of new possibilities.

CUMULUS SOFA AND TABLE With a silhouette inspired by the idea of sitting in a big, puffy cloud, our Cumulus sofa comforts the body with soft, distressed leathers, rich fabrics and handmade trims that evoke the spirit of the high country. An undeniably solid presence, the mountain oak table gives a nod to air’s ethereal quality.

Holding us securely against the forces of gravity, the Earth is generous with gifts. Trees to shade us, flowers to delight us, food to nourish us—you might call her the perfect hostess—the ideal inspiration for making guests feel perfectly comfortable in the depths of a jungle.

LATITUDE-LONGITUDE TABLE AND CHAIRS Made of recycled glass, recycled metal and sustainable hardwoods, this set acknowledges its place in the world, while giving you a place to dine as you ponder yours.

You envision an experience for your guests. Mark David creates luxurious custom furniture that completes it.

Mark David makes furniture that sparks imaginations. Our creators never stop thinking, what can turn a visit into a unique journey?

We are traveling companions and we are storytellers. We are more than furniture makers. We are creative partners and experience makers.
