Hoyos and Dining Style One of my faves includes the Tagua Dining Room table. The tall and handsome table meets the approval of many contemporary dining furniture buffs. What I like is the design element, effortlessly individualized with the central theme of tagua, yes, we like all the themes—café(hear coffffeeeee rich coffeeee), tagua(you know it now), coco(yes, inspired by the coconut fruit)…Caramelo(contrasts between light and dark—fab. stuff) and chocolate( guessed it yet? from the delightful fruit cacao, hear chocolate…smiles). Dining Room Furniture and sustainaibility in sync together. The Tagua Love seat with vertical retro lines has a nostalgic quality. The low-slung two-seater is carved out of tropical wood; and the result is a sophisticated textured design. This talented designer need not look further than her own culture to find inspiration. In her words, “I grew up surrounded by natural and exotic materials from the subtropical areas of Columbia,” she said. “These experiences had a great influence in my professional career because I felt attracted to, and identified by, the applications of innate elements. The use of tagua, coconut shells for the inlays and ebony veneers in my latest collection are examples of the elements that give our modern furniture a distinctive and unique look.” I also like her Tagua collection that uses palm seeds (fruits of ivory-nut palm) known as ‘vegetable ivory’ in her architectural themes, few of the models I suggest—the Tagua cocktail table…. it’s the drum-shaped (or inverted ear-phone—perception!) with a central circle of palm seeds looks native and original. I find it intriguing, original and quite suavish for home furniture.
