Ria and Yiouri Augousti elevate everyday home accessories by swathing them in exotic, luxury materials: Think lizard-embossed trays, watersnake bowls, shimmering shagreen-covered frames, and a sculptural lamp clad in python. Add a few pieces to any room, and the result will be a seriously luxe, richly textured look.
