NEW GOLDEN ERA
New Golden Era Philosophy
A VISION of DIVINE LIVING
The New Golden Era is a time of rebirth, where we create a new paradigm—one that is built on the foundation of divine order. It’s a sacred time where we realign with the Natural Laws that govern Life & Creation, shaping a future of profound harmony and higher consciousness. Anchored in the Ancient Future, these designs are not only a nod to the timeless wisdom of the past but also a beacon guiding us forward. We envision a society where beauty is not just seen but felt, where every space is a conduit for divine energy, nurturing the soul and elevating the spirit.
Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the principle that true design transcends the material world; it is a spiritual practice, a form of devotion that honours both the seen and unseen. In this era, we are not simply designing spaces—we are crafting sanctuaries that resonate with the divine essence within and around us, anchoring the Ancient Future and its timeless wisdom. Our work is a prayer, a bridge that connects heaven and earth, the past and the future, into a seamless tapestry of life.
Welcome to the New Golden Era, where we invite you to step into a reality crafted with divine intention. Here, the structures we create are more than just buildings; they are vessels of light, guiding humanity towards a future of unity, appreciation, and transcendence. This is our offering to the world—a new renaissance where the sacred and the material are woven together, heralding an era of true prosperity and enlightenment.
Exoticism & the Ancient Future 𓆃
BEYOND A DESIGN LANGUAGE
Exoticism & the Ancient Future emerged from a profound recognition of humanity’s shared heritage and the boundless potential of what lies ahead. It draws inspiration from the timeless elegance of ancient civilisations, weaving their wisdom with the aspirations of a reimagined world. This concept celebrates the richness of cultural diversity while anchoring designs in an ethos of beauty and transcendence. At its heart, it is a call to embrace a renaissance of artistry, creating spaces that honour our roots while shaping a visionary path to the Eternal.
Through our work, we weave elements of cultural depth and contemporary refinement, fostering environments that evoke curiosity and inspire transcendence. Exoticism & the Ancient Future is not merely an aesthetic but a gateway to experiences that connect us to Life’s Eternal principles of Creation.
THE BRAND
The Lie Alonso brand embodies a philosophy of enlightened luxury, offering an experience that goes beyond material opulence to embrace meaning, artistry, and the timeless elegance of Nature.

Lie Alonso aims to create spaces, pieces and experiences that transcend conventional luxury, allowing those who experience them to step into realms of refinement and transcendence, attuned to the essence of the Ancient Future 𓆃
At the heart of this philosophy is the brand’s eye symbol, an artistic reinterpretation of the universal eye, evoking the ancient wisdom of universal consciousness. This eye is a remembrance, a symbol of the shared awareness among all sentient beings—a consciousness that transcends individual experience and connects each of us to a greater whole. Serving as a guide and source of intuition, the Lie Alonso eye reflects the brand’s dedication to creating spaces that honour both spiritual and earthly journeys. Each journey becomes an invitation to rediscover one’s connection to the world, to the inner self, and to the collective essence of life itself.

Lie
From China to Suriname
The Lie Alonso twins’ Chinese family records date back to 1393 A.D., the year 26 of Emperor Hong Wu’s Ming Dynasty. The family descends from Hakka Han Chinese, known as nomads who migrated to Southern China and throughout the world. In 1948 their grandparents migrated from Guangdong, China to Suriname, a small country on the northeastern coast of South America, There, their surname 李 ([lì]) was translated using Dutch phonetics, becoming Lie. Lie Soek Tsien, their mother, speaks seven languages fluently, and in 1984, met their father who traveled there on a work mission. They conversed in Spanish and still do to this day.
Alonso
From Spain to Brazil
Vicente Alonso, the twins’ father, was born in Ourense, Spain, a city that traces its roots to the Roman Empire. His family, seeking new opportunities, migrated to Brazil in 1957 where they settled in São Paulo. Working from an early age as an industrial designer, he became a physicist & engineer and led many innovative projects. He developed aircraft systems that helped induce rain with sodium in areas stricken by severe droughts in Northern Brazil. In 1984 he was called to Suriname which suffered the same issue, and there he met the love of his life. After two years writing letters to each other, she migrated to Brazil where they started their life together. In 1988, year of the Dragon, the Lie Alonso twins were born.
Complementarily, the Batdorff Smith family graces us with brilliance and inspiration of divine order. Coming from diverse Northern European & American heritage, the unison of cultures strengthens even further the family mix, enriching our perspectives from the East to the West, North to South.
Dynasties are created by people with a grand vision, strong values and a unifying purpose. People determined to have an impact that transcends themselves and establish a solid foundation for future generations.
