About Tura Mejda

Il-Mejda Tura tieħu l-ispirazzjoni mill-piramidi, mibnija minn ġebel Tura, simbolu ta' reżiljenza u storja. Din l-influwenza ffurmat isimha u d-disinn tagħha, tgħaqqad l-estetika tal-antik mal-moderna. Għandha tliet bażijiet li jixbħu l-ġebel, magħmula minn fibra tal-ħġieġ biex tirrepika t-tessura tal-ġebel filwaqt li tnaqqas il-piż. Wiċċ tal-ħġieġ mingħajr ħjut, ammankjat b'rabit tas-silikon, jikkontrasta mat-tessura mhux maħduma ta' taħt. Il-ġebel jipprovdi l-istabbiltà, filwaqt li l-ħġieġ iżid ħeffa u funzjonalità. Din il-fużjoni ta' storja u sengħa kontemporanja tagħmel il-Mejda Tura biċċa distintiva eterna.
