R&Y Augousti was founded in 1989 by husband-wife duo Ria & Yiouri Augousti in Paris. Their artistic backgrounds brought them together as innovators in their field by reviving the artisanal techniques of shagreen and other exotic materials that were predominant in the Art Deco period of the 1930s. This chic bronze bowl lined in green tinted snakeskin is both primitive and sophisticated.
