Did you know that Inlay and Marquetry are both decorative techniques used in woodworking and craftsmanship to embellish surfaces with intricate patterns and designs?
Inlay is the process of putting bits of contrasting materials into a foundation material to produce a decorative pattern or design, such as wood, metal, shell, or stone. It is often used in the production of furniture, musical instruments (like as guitars and pianos), jewelry boxes, and other decorative products. Marquetry, on the other hand, is a woodworking technique that entails producing elaborate motifs and images with tiny pieces of various colored wood veneers. It is frequently found in furniture, particularly vintage items. It's commonly used to adorn tabletops, cabinets, and decorative panels.
Currently, these types of timber and artistic creations can be observed in the headboards of Herald Suites Hotel, along with Narra side tables and household altar tables adorned with carabao bone. Herald Suites has always placed a premium on traditional Philippine arts and crafts because they embrace human potential.
