I came to know this radiant joy when I visited Soneva Fushi in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve of the Maldives. Standing on the shore with the expansive ocean before me and the deep greens of the island behind, I felt a breeze wrap around me, and I thought deeply about the ocean and the wind, and about the juxtaposition of incredible beauty with unparalleled strength that we find in nature. I watched as the wind danced across the surface of the ocean before weaving its way through the emerald island. It stirred the waves that broke upon the island’s white shores, enveloping all in its blissful freedom. I was inspired by this blissful breeze, continuous and undiscerning as it encompassed everything in its path, and that inspiration led me to create BLISS. The result of extraordinary dedication to the pursuit of perfect harmony between the artistry of the designer and the expertise of the craftsman, BLISS is the manifestation of this gentle breeze wrapping around you as you stand on the white sands with the waves tumbling into the shore.
