In a world no longer made by hand, giving someone a piece that’s the work of top international designers and artisans is a high compliment — a way of saying that you know they too appreciate superb form and materials, and can tell the difference. For many people the great surprise of Mariposa is how flexible our diverse styles are, the way pieces from workshops that don’t have a word in common get along together so well — a shared language of the handmade and the beautiful.
