Meli wanted height that behaves like a doorway you can live beside — she made this Athina tall travertine arch for consoles that already hold a full life, a Greek skyline for Dubai rooms that refuse to apologise for abundance.
In an age of abundance, Meli does not hide from choice. She imagines an object, fusses until it feels like hers, then celebrates it in public — a curriculum you can pick up with your hands.
Imagine.
One Tuesday her children rearranged the living room into a city of cushions and she realised the console had no skyline — only stuff. In an age that can generate a million objects before breakfast, she did not want another accessory. She wanted a portal: stone tall enough to feel like arriving in Athina without leaving the Gulf.
Create.
She sketched arches until the proportion stopped performing and started standing. Workshops cut travertine with pores that refuse the smoothness of a render. She fussed over the height against books, against a lamp, against empty air — Imagine, then Create, until the curve felt like a street she still walks in memory.
Celebrate.
It stayed because a house that already has everything still needs a still point with altitude. The tall arch does not decorate the console. It gives the room a horizon, then leaves space for the family to fill it. Celebration is not more. It is this silhouette, kept.
Give your abundance a skyline — one tall quiet form — and let the rest of the house keep living.
No extra choices to hide behind. Attach to this object the way Meli did: pick it, live with it, let love arrive after.
