The Corfu capsule by Majorica revisits the Mediterranean Sea. Inspired by this large Greek island in the Ionian Sea, the collection recreates its colours, textures and the omnipresent marine transparency that surrounds its coast, combining Murano blown glass, organic Majorica pearls and rustic braided metal.

Corfu was the cradle of culture and science. The only Greek island never conquered by the Ottomans, it was the origin of much of the mythology. Its fortifications and its great defensive triumph meant that Venice used Corfu to prevent Turkish invasions in the Adriatic Sea. And with Venetian blown glass, the Corfu capsule by Majorica recreates bouquets of plants from the 6,000 species present in this paradise and recalls the sea stones of its countless beaches.

Green tones from the vast olive groves and the sea, ochre tones from the earth and brown colours reminiscent of the island’s fortifications and the brickwork of its 40 churches are used. A frequent destination for European royalty well into the 20th century, Corfu was the resting place of Empress Sissi of Austria and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, enjoying walks by the sea and the crystalline purity of its waters, reflected in the Corfu collection in Murano glass combined with handcrafted organic Majorica pearls and 18k gold-plated brass. The choker with crystal and pearl bead terminals, the braided bracelet, two earrings and two rings recreate this fresh, crystalline universe.
