The journey of The Halcyon Collection begins with the tale of a Kingfisher bird,
whose nest is perched on the edge of the sea. In ancient legend, the Halcyon
bird is said to possess the ability to bring forces of nature under control,
charming winds and waves to bring peace and tranquillity to its nest.
Born from the myth of this bird, the word Halcyon now conjures up thoughts
of sanctuary, fond memories and space for reflection.
Our attraction to water as a species is clear; its presence can quiet a noisy
mind and bring a hypnotising calm in its place. Water signifies a presence of
nature and symbolises a return to simpler times, its soothing existence is an
answer to the desire for serenity in our busy lives. This collection of products
explores the mesmerising ways water makes its presence known; crashing
waves and whirling vortexes are countered by the still, silent lagoons and the
imprints left behind where water once flowed. Much like the fabled Halcyon
bird who bewitched waters to create a restful, safe nest, this collection of
products provides the power to create absolute serenity and peace within
your home.
