Land in form
Rock, soil, water and wood come together in Weylandts’ Mesa Collection, where each crafted piece reflects the traces of ancient, organic processes
Landmarks eroded by time
The word Mesa refers to a flat-topped mountain or elevated landforms that have been formed over millions of years through the process of wind and water erosion. Softer rock layers cannot withstand the conditions, leaving behind the durable rock that creates the table-like formations. These earthly practices are what inform our ethos. Through carved bases, leathered marble tops, and hand-scratched details, this collection is a representation of what inspires our designs.
Using the relationship between light and texture, pieces build tension with their stillness. As light moves across each surface, it reveals the honesty of the materials, highlighting texture, form, and the subtle traces of erosion that informed the design.
Crafted in India and designed by Weylandts, the key materialities of the collection are carved Mango wood and leathered marbles sourced from quarries in Rajasthan and hand-selected by Chris and Anna Weylandt on their journeys through India.
Layered in form and rich in materiality, the Baza range explores depth through a bold, sculptural composition. Informed by Weylandts’ distinct marbles, the range showcases intensity with its dark tonality and hand-etched details. Blending stone with Black Oil Mango wood, textured finishes and rhythmic grains are revealed, creating tactility and visual weight. Each piece in the range is defined by soft curvature and deliberate proportion.
Monumental in presence yet refined in execution, the Moyo range explores the dialogue between mass and delicacy. Bold geometric forms are softened by nuanced detailing, while rich material contrasts reveal a sense of balance and restraint. Rooted in the language of sculpture, each piece celebrates the permanence of design.
Designed by Weylandts. Crafted in India
In between broken chairs and cups of chai, vessels with rich and lasting histories decorate an unpolished warehouse. A place where duality lives. For Weylandts, travel is about finding the beauty in the dilapidated, innovation in tradition, and freedom in surrendering to experience. It’s about stepping into environments that challenge, confront, and inspire.
Chris and Anna Weylandt have been to India and back many times in the history of Weylandts. Their latest collection is an expression of these relationships and a dedication to the process. Designed by Weylandts and crafted in India, these pieces are the product of not only months of research and development but decades of knowledge, skill, and learning. And along the way, a chair or two.
