Passion for the Past – The past is our best inspiration. In contrast with the standardized current trends the past is exciting and provides us with memories that we do not want to forget.
The pieces are unique. They are the result of the designer´s and artisan's commitment and passion for a luxurious past. Excellence defines each piece. Involved in its refinement our imagination travels through time and through elegant and pleasant places.
“Our exclusive work recreates feelings and stories of other times that seek to build a perfect past. A past full of passionate memories, inspiring feelings of nostalgia.” - João Bessa.
The Moai, also known as the Great Heads or the Naoki, are 887 colossal statues in stone located on Easter Island. These beautiful creations are wrapped in mystery and there are several theories around their existence. For some, the Moai were an homage to the ancestors and the gods. For others, especially the Moai that have "hats" (Pukao), served as lightning rods. What is certain is that the incidence of lightning on the island is high, and at night or on days of low light, the Moai are illuminated when charged with lightning energy. The Moai are one of the most mysterious and striking cultural manifestations and served as inspiration for Bessa to create a limited edition piece. A creation that preserves the mysterious stories and unique memories of a civilization that we can only imagine.
