Fairuz Espresso Cup

From the domes of the Shah Mosque in Iran to the doors of North Africa and Andalusia’s tiled Alhambra Palace to the mosques of Samarkand, turquoise has long been coveted in Middle Eastern and Islamic architecture. Inspired by the magnetic hue, Silsal’s Fairuz collection, which literally translates to turquoise, is a celebration of this much beloved color. 

While some believed turquoise reflected the heavens, others said the shade represented water, and thus life. Silsal combines the signature turquoise with other rich tones of blue, green and purple found in the artwork, tiles and arches of the region – reminiscent of the magnificent peacock feather. 

White porcelain is the canvas, upon which the vibrant colors dance and weave among one another; evoking the fluidity of a Monet watercolor. Space is used to contrast and highlight the rich depths of each tone, allowing them to be admired in their purest forms.

This cacophony of color is further embellished with bold strokes of striking gold calligraphy, celebrating the three words ‘Al Salam, Al Mahabah and Al Karam’, which translate to ‘Peace, Love and Kindness’.

With its modern treatment of the ancient love of turquoise, the Fairuz collection not only evokes the art and colors of the Middle East, but its values and spirit.
