Design and Build Magazine

Allura is pleased to be included in the latest issue of Design & Build magazine.

In a piece aimed primarily at interior designers and architects, Allura’s Laura Swale explains how original fine art can transform a room and how considering it as a key component early on at the design stage can maximise its impact and really make a statement.

Following in the family footsteps

The article also explores Laura’s artistic background and more specifically the influence of her artist mother, Caryl.

Caryl Swale’s love of drawing and painting was the catalyst for Laura’s own interest in art. Caryl’s businesses, Inside Art and Mango Murals, laid the foundation for a shared interest, not only in art and design, but in how original art can complement a setting, and vice-versa.

Sourcing original art

The Allura Art online gallery is a one-stop-shop for quality original paintings by more than a dozen contemporary painters based in Malta and Gozo. However, the Design & Build article focuses instead on the Allura Art advisory service, which serves commercial and residential property owners, as well as architects and designers, either seeking direction, or looking to commission a bespoke series or site-specific piece.

“We needed an extra special bespoke design for a very large space in a luxury apartment at Portomaso Laguna. We liked the work of Allura so it was an obvious choice.”
