TRADITION COLLECTION “Além das aptidões e das qualidades herdadas, é a tradição que faz de nós aquilo que somos”

“In addition to the skills and inherited qualities, the tradition it is what makes us who we are.”

Albert Einstein Com a coleção TRADITION enaltecemos as memórias deste conhecimento único e rico, transmitido de geração em geração, que tende a desaparecer, mas que é fonte de identidade do povo, pois carrega em si a própria história desse povo e faz parte do seu património cultural imaterial.

With TRADITION collection we magnify the memories of this unique and rich knowledge, passed down from generation to generation, which tends to disappear. However, that is the source of people’s identity, since it carries with it their history and it is part of their intangible cultural heritage.

Naperon / Mirror Lungta / Console Mosaic / Mirror Kintsukuroi / Sofa Acoma / Armchair Kanzashi / CoďŹ&#x20AC;ee Table

TRADITION

Naperon Mirror “I’ll tell you a secret: I learned the craft of dreams, that arise in my thinking. Learned poems of sewing threads, with tangles and stubborn hands. I made a room of mine in each pattern, what poem of endless verses. Needle and thread in hand, I learned to ﬂy, My mother taught me. “ The doily crochet had produced over the years an importance in people’s lives that transcends its true nature. It was considered a pastime of the wealthy social classes in the Renaissance, as it was in the 1st world war produced by nuns and sold to feed the orphans of the war. This piece created endless memories over time that ALMA DE LUCE® intends to glorify here. The NAPERON mirror is a timeless piece that reﬂects eternal beauty in the richness of their pattern.

TRADITION

Lungta Console “Go serenely galloping wind Take with you prayers and mantras, Follow your destiny through the corners of the world. Reveal yourself with a gentle reciting of cuddles whispering in the ear and magic that fulfi ls the soul.” Wind Horse (lungta in Tibetan) or prayer flag, are flags printed with Tibetan prayers. These flags fixed to a mast, or sewn in strings stretched between two points, flit freely in the wind, around the monasteries in sacred places, or attached to the branch, we see them everywhere. ALMA DE LUCE pays tribute to this tradition through its interpretation, presenting a piece rich in details and mystery. Lungta is defi nitely a key element to the most luxurious interior designs.

TRADITION

Mosaic Mirror “Tell me craftsman, what poetry do you do that is born from your heart? They are mosaic carpets, They are cement secrets, that I drawing on the floor!” Tile or hydraulic mosaic is a type of handmade coating made with cement, used in floors and walls, which had its heyday between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. It was presented as an alternative to marble or as a “pottery” that did not required cooking. It rises up in the south of Europe and quicky spreads itself across Mediterranean countries, becoming popular also in Victorian England and Russia. The drawings or patterns represented geometric shapes, flowers or leaves. The most delicate ones used a motive that was repeated and propagated by the pieces in a combination of two, four or six different mosaics, resulting in beautiful patterns or simulating a carpet that covered the whole room. ALMA DE LUCE presents us the Mosaic mirror of deep color, which tells us this memory in an elegant and contemporary way. The mirror can be executed in brass or with various dimensions fitting the intended stunning interior.

TRADITION

Kintsukuroi Sofa “Take me in your hands! Fix me with the gold of your love… Cover my open wounds, without haste, leave my soul as new. Accept my old story! Let you fall in love with my defects… Love my scars! Love the remains that get out of me! Restore me with your hands, with your soul, with your heart!” Kintsukuroi is a japanese word to the art of repairing pottery with gold and lacquer, and for the understanding that the piece becomes more beautiful because it has broken. In fact, repairing a vase becomes a unique and special object. Imperfections are seen as a celebration of life, in the small and big mistakes made and the possibility of learning from it. Of creased lines, broken by the irregularity of the golden touch, ALMA DE LUCE introduce a sofa, the KINTSUKUROI. This piece inspires us in its simplicity, referring us to a reﬁned sense of elegance and contemporaneity.

TRADITION

Acoma Armchair “Speak the hand, words of clay. Tell me secrets about the nature, in molded verses of lines and dashes! Speak the hand, words of clay. With blind ﬁngers makes a ready vase, where the soul of the earth is reborn!” Acoma is the “City of Sky”, localized in New Mexico, one of the most older cities of the North America. It is the city of people of Aak’u. They make traditional indigenous ceramics, vases of everyday life, through rituals in a great natural beauty. Alma de Luce transforms the ceramic art of Acoma in an inspiring and sophisticated armchair. The brand shows us his passion for tradition and elevates us in her interpretation of patterns and texture that surprise and delight us.

TRADITION

Kanzashi Coffe Table “My lady geisha Your hair shines in ebony Full of kanzashi flowers With pure white petals As the moon itself Delicate and perfect” Kanzashi is the name given to the ornaments worn on japanese women’s hairstyles, particularly the geishas. Manufactured by artisans who produce them with rich details and shapes, they are made with varnished wood, gold, silver, metal and silk. With manly floral themes, the Kanzashi are a reason for fascination, as by their beauty and as by the delicate materials used, as well as by the complexity and symbolism of its assembly. ALMA DE LUCE presents a glamorous center coffee table in green glass, surrounded by a polished brass structure, of extreme simplicity, perfect for distinguished and exquisite environments.

El Baâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ia / Console

PLACE

El Ba’ia Console “In each room of the palace, I gently run my hand through the tiles... How can such a beauty be real? It is the evidence of love...” More than just a building, the La Bahia palace tells memories of Morroco. This beautiful construction is a splendid example of Eastern Architecture from the 19th century that represents trends and standards of the wealthy who lived at that time. To build the palace Craftsmen were brought from Fez to work on this monumental task which took approximately ﬁfteen years to complete.

Naperon Cabinet “I’ll tell you a secret: I learned the craft of dreams, that arise in my thinking. Learned poems of sewing threads, with tangles and stubborn hands. I made a room of mine in each pattern, what poem of endless verses. Needle and thread in hand, I learned to ﬂy, My mother taught me. “ Simply NAPERON.

TRADITION

Enxoval Bar “Many years have passed and I still see you my mother, with the needle in your hand. Every day, in every vacant moment, you shape lines and colours in your love My trousseau.“ In traditional Portuguese society, crochet was taught over long winter evenings around the fireplace. Starting from the basics, and evolving to complex and knotty artistic methods, this art was performed and preserved through sharing and defy, in a strong discipline environment and shared commitment, to a higher standard of recognised perfection in outstanding patterns. ALMA DE LUCE® is exposing the uniqueness of this trousseau made with crochet, whose cultural significance exceeds the value of each piece, and does so through the reinterpretation of standards using crystals. The combination between some of the material’s shining intensity, and the pattern astonishing detail, will definitely produce an outstanding sense of wonder nearby, no matter where.

The First Egg Cabinet “Let me give you this gift That my heart has to give you!

El Ba’ia grand vizier El Ba’ia harem Counter “In each room of the palace, I gently run my hand through the tiles... How can such a beauty be real? It is the evidence of love...” In the late nineteenth century, at Marrakech, the LA BAHIA palace was built in ArabicAndalusian or Moroccan style, standing as one of the most impressive palaces in the country. It dazzles by its size, and the endless application of Zellij tile. The palace was built for the 4 wives and 24 concubines of the Grand Vizier, but took the name of the preferred one: bright or shine. ALMA DE LUCE® recreates this tribute through the richness of the crystals patterns, manufacturing from the inner grid, and producing the arrangement of the 2 parts that complement each other. The secrets remain kept within the inner drawers. It will overwhelm the reﬁnement and personality of any room with the bright glow shouting out of the geometric pattern formed by the crystals, enhanced by the white contrast of its ground support.
