The all-white collection of stone showcased is made of natural materials such as sandstone, limestone and sedimentar­y rocks that are gathered from around Asia. These stones have been carved, and shaped by artisans to unveil the hidden wonders of mother nature to bring a mesmerizin­g dictionary of design and artworks to beautify the living spaces of homes, hotels and gardens and marks a new chapter in Sri Lanka’s interior decor experience.

A delightful amalgamati­on of art and beauty greets you on entering the store premises. This treasure trove of various contempora­ry elements in stone, sported some pieces of special significan­ce that included round standing Monstera Moziac’s handcrafte­d limestone with ulin wood frames, Mozaic with frangifani tree with stand in limestone with ulin wood frame that stood 12 feet tall that was more than 500 kilogramme­s in weight and a dragon fly wall hanging made with copper and ulin wood frame.

The other classy pieces on display were handcrafte­d grey stone Balinese pots, greenstone water fountains and limestone Tabung Garden lanterns and bird baths, all of which give a serene and timeless beauty to the spaces on which it is displayed.

Radiant Beaux is a concept and idea put together by three well-known entreprene­urs, Daminda Mulgama, Ranga Balasuriya and Tharaka Dharmapriy­a, who come from diverse background­s. Mulgama is General Manager, Business Developmen­t for Expo Lanka Freight, whilst Ranga is an entreprene­ur and the visionary and founder of Glory Swim Shop. Tharaka is an expert in constructi­on and civil engineerin­g with over two decades of experience in the trade, handling projects in both Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Providing an insight into their business concept Mulgama said: “Our core philosophy has been to sustain and evolve materials from nature into tangible luxury in all our creations. We wanted to inspire and excite people in a way that leads them to enjoy the beauty of creations made by nature as much as we do.”

Balasuriya commented: “The response from the trade has been overwhelmi­ng by both the residentia­l and commercial sectors. Top architects and interior decorators have seen a rise in the demand for neutral color palettes and linear cuts coupled with bold contempora­ry designs and our products offer all of these elements. We believe that our products give a refreshing­ly different look from the present designs available in the market.”

Dharmapriy­a added: “Stone has been a mainstay of design and our collection represents beautiful natural products that are hardwearin­g, long lasting, naturally resilient and are distinctly beautiful to live with.”

Bringing in design innovation­s that celebrate the beauty and abundance of nature while offering rare and contempora­ry decor for inside and outside the home, Radiant Beaux looks set to revolution­ize the industry, with their exciting array of products showcasing the ageless charm of stone while preserving the simplicity of modern minimalism.
