Adriana Hoyos The majestic Serengeti Plains have inspired a contemporary classic range of furniture by US-based designer
Adriana Hoyos. Using rich hardwood grains available in a selection of finishes, the aptly titled
Africa Collection features the distinctive markings of the giraffe moulded in a striking cutout pattern that is used in chair backrests, headboards, sideboards and table bases. The patterns are accentuated with upholstery materials like leather in neutral or contrasting shades.

Adriana's designs are simple, chic and elegant, and also include dining room tables and chairs, end tables, ottomans and sofas.
