ISTHAR

The Story

ISTHAR is named after the Mesopotamian goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and war, a divine figure who embodied both grace and power. Revered as the star of the morning and evening (Venus), Ishtar represented eternal duality: creation and destruction, desire and strength. This console translates that sacred balance into modern living, becoming a sculptural vessel of meaning and elegance.

Design & Craftsmanship

The body of ISTHAR is finished in pristine white lacquer, evoking purity and timeless clarity. Its front panels are adorned with 24K gold-leaf symbols, reminiscent of the sacred language of ancient civilizations. The carved pedestal base anchors the piece in strength, echoing the permanence of monumental architecture. Every line merges refinement with artistry, balancing minimal modernity with symbolic depth.

Presence in the Interior

ISTHAR transforms interiors into sanctuaries of beauty and meaning. Its radiant silhouette illuminates spaces with sophistication, while the golden symbols add cultural resonance and mystique. Whether placed in a private residence or a contemporary gallery, ISTHAR elevates the environment into a dialogue between heritage and modernity.

A Guardian Reimagined

More than furniture, ISTHAR is a guardian of cultural memory, a timeless monument to sacred symbolism. Designed for those who seek beauty imbued with narrative, it stands as an icon of elegance and heritage.
