The art is
in the detail.
A rhythm of inlay. The lustre of mother of pearl. A carefully considered silhouette. At Menthome, the smallest details give a piece its character.

Many small details.
One considered whole.
Inlay brings contrasting materials together on a surface to create a pattern. Its character lies in the relationship between each small element and the complete design.
Start with the silhouette
The proportions of a console, the curve of a headboard or the shape of a side table give the pattern its setting. Form and decoration need to work together.
Build a visual rhythm
Floral motifs, geometric repeats and decorative borders each create a different mood. Their scale, spacing and direction shape how the finished piece is experienced.
Bring the elements together
Small pieces of inlay are arranged into the design. The meeting of borders, curves, corners and adjoining faces is where close attention becomes especially visible.
Let the material speak
Colour, texture and finish complete the composition. Natural variations in bone and shell contribute to the individuality of handcrafted furniture.
Contrast. Colour. Light.
Bone inlay
Soft ivory tones create a striking contrast against coloured backgrounds. From delicate florals to architectural geometry, the material gives patterns depth and definition.
Mother of pearl
Shell brings an iridescent quality that shifts with the light. Its natural tonal variation adds richness to the surface and makes each detail worth a closer look.
Wood, colour & resin
Structure and surface work together. Across our collections, wood forms, coloured backgrounds and resin details offer different ways to express a design.
A pattern that
belongs to a place.
The Agra penthouse commission shows how a shared design language can connect an entire interior. Working to the architect's specifications, Menthome created furniture and fitted pieces across the bedroom, dressing room, vanities, mirrors and living space.
See the original workshop and installation photographs from the project at Saura Hotel, Agra, formerly Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Agra.
