The artist team was inspired by the harmony and balance of natural forms and processes  to create tables, chairs, sofas and lighting. The artists filled the transparent legs of tables with seashells and applied the shapes and patterns of snail shells, pea pods, dinosaur bones and other natural forms to surfaces of the brightly colored furnishings.​
