Amboina explores South Moluccan culture,
by means of a pattern in marquetry. The
pattern refers to different cultural aspects
such as geography, semiotics, community,
flora, fauna, history and politics. These are
represented by abstracted symbols. Their
importance is indicated by their position
and scale within the iconography of the
patterns.
The set of tables, with the pattern decorating
the tabletops, take a lead from Art Deco, as
modern reinterpretation of traditional
marquetry craft. The use of distinct materials,
such as wood and bronze, add to the cultural
values represented in the pattern.
