Bone Inlay: A Love Story
There’s a raw beauty in every piece of bone—the subtle imperfections, the life it once had, and the journey that brought it here. Hand-carved with precision and care, each fragment is expertly set by a master fair-trade artisan, transforming into an exquisite, functional artwork. These bespoke creations bring a lifetime of joy to their owners, and it’s this passion for sharing the magic of inlay that brought us together to create Mahlia Interiors.
The Mahlia Method
You have inlay on your mind—we hear you. You come to us with an idea, and naturally, we love it. We take your vision and infuse it with our expertise, working closely with you to bring it to life. Considering your space, aesthetic, and lifestyle, we refine the form, colour, pattern, and size to craft a truly unique bone or mother-of-pearl inlay piece.
Founded in 2017 by a pair of great friends, Mahlia Interiors quickly became one of Australia’s premier inlay specialists. In 2024, the baton was passed to Tara and Em, both deeply connected to inlay craftsmanship and India’s artistic heritage. Today, our team remains dedicated to everything inlay—if you have a question, we have the answer. If you have a vision, we’ll help you bring it to life.
Ethically Sourced, Meticulously Crafted
Ethical sourcing has always been at the heart of Mahlia Interiors. Every piece we create is 100% certified ethical by India’s governing wildlife body—a commitment that will never change.
We collaborate closely with our fair-trade artisans in Rajasthan, India, a region renowned for its rich colours, vibrant festivals, and breath-taking architecture. The grandeur of Rajasthan’s palaces and forts is reflected in our designs—their striking geometric patterns, bold hues, and intricate craftsmanship. Each piece of bone carries its own subtle markings, a testament to its history and the hands that shaped it. These details are what make Mahlia Interiors truly special—where tradition, artistry, and timeless beauty come together.
