1 Wild side
We absolutely love the Jungle Fever partition by Bokja Design. It consists of four individual pieces, each adorned with gorgeous animal motifs delicately stitched onto fabric in the stunning style so synonymous with the Lebanese design duo.

4 Trunk show
Hewn from the solid trunks of acacia trees, the Teton Accent Table is entirely unique. Each section of trunk is selected for its intriguing shape and then hand-finished to bring out the beauty of the wood’s natural grain. The sturdy table sits on heavy-duty castors, so it can be easily rolled around and will happily double up as a footrest or seat.
