Urban Forest 2

Urban Forest captures quiet serenity at the heart of the metropolis, where nature and urban architecture intertwine.

Rooted in Hanoia’s artistic heritage, Urban Forest seamlessly brings nature into modern living. In collaboration with French illustrator Lil Sire, the collection reimagines a lush orchid garden, a vibrant parrot, a shimmering rainbow and the serene ritual of afternoon tea. Marrying lacquer artistry with ceramics and natural inspiration, each creation evokes a sense of connection to nature within the city’s embrace. Every piece in Urban Forest embodies the meticulous craftsmanship and passion of Hanoia’s master lacquer artisans.

Elegance emanates from the refined brushstrokes that breathe life into nature’s vivid palette. With the Bellus motif, Hanoia offers an intimate portrayal of a flourishing orchid garden. The striking contrast of colours against the lacquer’s luminous sheen, combined with exquisitely rendered lines, transforms nature’s palette into a captivating visual centrepiece.

Bellus celebrates the beauty of orchids—graceful and poised, their intricate forms are realised through a fusion of techniques, including colour transition, shading and silk painting. Each bloom, painted entirely by hand, captures the orchid’s softness and elegance as it unfurls in the sunlight.
