Safari Edition

 

The Safari Edition explores the tension between structure and instinct.

Classical European silhouettes are reimagined through the language of the wild — leopard, zebra, shadow, and sun-baked earth — tempered by restraint and proportion. These pieces evoke the quiet drama of distant landscapes without abandoning architectural discipline. Bold yet composed, the collection captures a cultivated interpretation of wilderness.

Luxe Safari Dining Chairs


Serengeti Twilight is a custom couture seating collection that explores animal pattern  through shadow, contrast, and restraint. Inspired by the quiet drama of  dusk on the savanna, the collection balances exotic animal motifs  against dark frames, with or without gilt accents, and classical  silhouettes—never literal, never loud.


Rather  than replicate specific designs, the collection serves as a visual  language—one that adapts to available vintage frames, scale, and context  while remaining true to its core aesthetic.


From seat-upholstered dining chairs to fully upholstered, enveloping forms, Serengeti Twilight accommodates a range of expressions within a cohesive design world.

  

Illustrative concept pieces are included here to demonstrate the breadth  of possibility, signaling direction rather than duplication.


All  works within the collection are developed individually as custom  commissions. Materials, upholstery scope, and finishes vary by project,  and no two pieces are ever recreated exactly. The result is seating that  feels both timeless and distinctly personal.

 An unexpected allegiance between Victorian sensibility and modern safari adventure.
