Bayt Damas, the region’s First Luxury Lifestyle Destination, has announced Prologue to be the newest addition to its portfolio of brands. To celebrate the official launch, a cocktail event on January 24th took place, which drew top media representatives and influential personalities, who expressed their great interest in the Prologue pieces on display.
Led by owner and creative director Pedro de Aranda, a direct descendant of a noble Spanish family of ambassadors and generals, Prologue specializes in truly one-of-a-kind art pieces, incorporating materials that range from the traditional precious metals of silver and gold to exotic leathers, timbers and gemstones. Since its foundation in 1988, Prologue has created fine art pieces for private collectors as well as collections for royal weddings, and luxurious gifts for kings, queens and other diplomatic visits.
Prologue’s exceptional offering will be displayed in a salon at Bayt Damas that has been exclusively designed for the brand, featuring soft, muted shades, luxurious marble counter tops, metallic gold fixtures and art adorning the walls. A curated selection of Prologue’s treasures is on display here, including fine jewellery encrusted with precious gemstones, objets d’art, accessories for her and for him, watch winders, humidors and more. Each piece is an incredible and unique work of art, with many paying tribute to the region, such as a white snakeskin leather handbag featuring the cityscape of Abu Dhabi in sterling silver with white rhodium, yellow gold, copper and black ruthenium plating, and an Arabian horse hunting knife entirely handmade with a figural sterling silver Arabian horse and specially sourced Italian made Damascus steel blade.
As the region’s First Luxury Lifestyle Destination, Bayt Damas offers an experiential journey of discovery which brings together exceptionally unique jewellery pieces, fashion and art under one roof to create a home of exceptional creativity and craftsmanship. Prologue is an exciting addition to Bayt Damas’ growing portfolio of renowned international jewellery brands including Graff, FOPE, SabyaSachi, Damiani, Djula Paris, and Mikimoto, which take their place alongside unique pieces from an array of iconic in-house Damas collections.
