Bone Inlay: A Love Story
There’s a raw beauty in each piece of bone. In its imperfections, the life it had previously and the journey to now. Each piece of carefully carved bone is hand-set by a master fair-trade artisan, beginning its new life as an exquisite functional artwork, a bespoke piece sure to add a lifetime of happiness to its owners. Providing this opportunity for people to experience this is what drew us together to create Mahlia Interiors.
The Mahlia method
You have inlay on the mind. We hear you. You reach out with your idea, and naturally, we love it. We blend your idea with plenty of our passion and know-how, working closely with you to bring your vision to life. Giving careful consideration to your space, aesthetic and lifestyle, we map out the form, colour, shape and size of your bone or mother of pearl inlay piece.
Founded in 2017, by a couple of great friends, Mahlia Interiors quickly became one of Australia's premier inlay providers. In 2024, the batton was passed to Tara and Em who also had a long association with inlay and with India. Today we continue to be a team of experts in absolutely anything you can imagine that’s inlay-related. You have a question, we will help to answer it and find you the piece you’ve been dreaming of.
Ethically sourced, meticulously crafted.
Sourcing high-quality ethical bone inlay has been always been our focus. All Mahlia Interiors pieces are 100% certified ethical by India’s governing wildlife body. And that won’t ever change.
We work closely with our team of fair-trade artisans located in India’s Rajasthan region. The northern swathe of India is renowned for its rich colours, vibrant festivals and mesmerising architecture. The forts and palaces of Rajasthan can be seen in the geometry and striking shades of every Mahlia piece – in each unique bit of bone with its own subtle battle scars, the true mark of handmade.
