Silk Road
For 3000 years, nomads, traders, armies, and pilgrims have traveled the Silk Road—thousands of miles of routes that connect Europe to India to China and Japan— exchanging not simply silk and other luxuries but philosophical and artistic influences, the very highest visions of what a civilization could be. It is no exaggeration to say that the silk road laid the foundations for modernity as we know it. For two decades, New Ravenna has traveled these routes, exploring our mosaic forebears in east and west, blending our own ideas of modern taste with both the indigenous materials of Eurasia and design elements f r o m m a n y t r a d i t i o n s . I n t h i s y e a r, w e o f f e r S i l k R o a d , a c o l l e c t i o n t h a t brings us home, distilling our own pilgrimages into steps on the path of o u r d e s i g n o d y s s e y. Here, our Silk Road collection is presented in a simplified palette we call Ta b u l a R a s a , l a t i n f o r “ c l e a n s l a t e . ” T h e s t o n e c o l o r s u t i l i z e d i n t h i s collection are only Thassos, Calacatta, Carrara, Bardiglio, and Nero Marquina, enabling clients to easily imagine the thousands of color combinations New Ravenna can render in both stone and glass. W e i n v i t e y o u t o l e t y o u r m i n d ’s e y e w a n d e r a s y o u v i s u a l i z e t h e s e endless possibilities.
