Sri Lanka is the only source of ‘Ceylon Cinnamon’ or ‘true cinnamon’, used as an ingredient and in Ayurvedic wellness. Here, in the Kurundu Suite, Marie Gnanaraj weaves cinnamon quills through fabric in pleasing geometry, celebrating this healing spice.
On the sofas and bed are weavings by Asanga Godamuna, which takes into consideration the twirling of the cinnamon quills to create the design. Adding to this are prints by Dominic Sansoni of cinnamon as it is piled up and bundled, waiting to be exported to the world.
‘Pillars of Salt’, which is seen decorating the wall behind the bed is a work by Barefoot, using the inspiration of land and seascapes of Sri Lanka in abstract geometry with vivid colour. This feature was woven for Bentota Beach by local artists and craftsmen.
