Ria and Yiouri Augousti’s chic home accessories blend classic French flavor with a love of luxury materials. Take the Tomboy tissue box, made of fantastically textured shagreen, or the nesting bowls, crafted from ostrich. There are also shimmering bronze-and-shell decorative boxes, bamboo vases and metal-cast bowls.
Ria and Yiouri of R&Y Augousti were born, respectively, in the Philippines and Cyprus; met in London; and now live in Paris. Their chic home and fashion accessories evince the duo’s global backgrounds and interest in multiple facets of design. Featuring a classic French flavor, their luxury goods range from simple trays to ornate shagreen boxes covered in feathers and inlaid shells. Add into the mix the designers’ latest ventures — small leather goods and jewelry — and their fans can take R&Y Augousti’s signature exoticism with them wherever they go.
