Layered in neutrals but never flat: woven cane and raw oak, jute and bouclé, the texture doing what color usually does. Relaxed without being undone. Uplifting without being loud. The kind of calm that comes from a room that isn’t trying. From where we sit, it’s the most travel-shaped of the American interior styles.
