Curiosity and a sense of intrigue wash over me as I sit across Rolf von Bueren and his son Nicklas in their peaceful abode in Bangkok,Thailand, which could’ve been easily mistaken for Bali, Indonesia. It seemed as though I would need a good two days, at the very least, to admire every nook and corner in their house that is adorned with captivating artefacts.
Celebrating a four-decade-long legacy bound by Asian culture and mythology, Lotus Arts de Vivre is the creation of Germany-born Rolf von Bueren and his better half, Helen von Bueren. Lotus is known for its bold and modern yet one-of-a-kind intricate designs made using rare and opulent natural materials. Of course, the materials are met with unparalleled crafting techniques to produce truly marvellous hand-crafted pieces. Lotus began as a passion project by Helen von Bueren when both her sons left home for further studies. It was grown by Rolf von Bueren as a tangible manifestation of his undying love and passion for preserving cultural heritage. Currently, though, the reins of the business are in the hands of their sons, Sri and Nicklas.
