Alhambra from Tatiana Tafur
For the more exquisite furnishings in life look no further than Tatiana Tafur on
Kings Road Chelsea, where even contemporary pieces have a timeless quality. But
best of all, if you have a particular shade in mind many of their bespoke and main
collection pieces can be dyed to any colour choice.
Founder, Tatiana Howard says, “We are one of the few UK companies that can match
materials to any colour swatch, no matter how obscure, as well as to Pantone references.”
The flexibility is down to the fact that it works with superior quality parchment
and other specialist materials such as shagreen.
The high lustre appearance of the Alhambra sideboard pictured above is created with
a lacquer finish, which in turn enhances the tone and the natural markings of the
skin. This bespoke piece was made by one of their Italian manufacturers and shows
off to perfection the quality of design, craftsmanship and finish that one expects
from Tatiana Tafur.
Inspired by a damask design, the handmade centre plaque was developed with artisans
at their workshop during one of Tatiana Howard’s visits to Milan. Working closely
with their manufacturers is of paramount importance to Tatiana Tafur to ensure that
the client’s specifications are met, while facilitating a high level of quality
control.
