A trend boutique in Miami incorporates a one-of-a-kind facade due to Michael Chandler, artist and founding father of Cape City-based Chandler Home. He created a bespoke, hand-painted, nature-inspired tile set up with “May all the doors of the world always be open to you” showing on a ribbon floating above the entryway. A big tree unfurls all through the composition, bedecked with myriad birds, flowers, and a silhouetted climber.

The undertaking started with a easy e-mail inquiry from the Cult Gaia model. “We almost didn’t take it seriously because it was so wild,” Chandler tells Colossal. “But we had a Zoom chat or two, exchanged emails, and before I knew it, I was laying out tiles and covering them with brilliant, blue brush marks!” He labored on the undertaking in sections, fastidiously numbering and mapping each bit so the composition might be simply put in on the outside of the constructing.

The artistic course was laid fully in Chandler’s arms, and he conceived of a “tree of life” motif, with the liberty to create “all its branches of flowers, fruit, birds, and muses in my own way,” he says, sharing that when a artistic is given license to do what they do greatest, it might probably result in outstanding outcomes. The model nods to Delft Blue, a kind of Dutch earthenware popularized within the seventeenth century, which is impressed by Chinese language porcelain design and infrequently distinctively blue.

Chandler is presently engaged on a collection of small panels for a winery close to Cape City, which continues the tree of life theme, besides with coral. The permanence of ceramic tile appeals to the artist for its longevity. “The thought of people enjoying my work over the course of the next hundred years really excites me,” he says. “How wonderful to be able to bring joy to the world after I am no longer around.”
