If you prefer to take your stories with a glass in-hand, the Papillon Drinks Trolley is the perfect enabler.

Edge Side Table
The Edge Side Table makes for an excellent spot to stow a tome or two. Its compact format allows it to tuck away nicely in a reading nook while delivering a design-forward punch to the space. It’s equally eye-catching in charcoal as with a gold-plated finish or marble top, availing the opportunity to tailor the piece to your own interior or, indeed, inspire a new decorative direction.
Hug Pendant in Persian Silver and Florentine Gold
Hug Pendant Light
The Hug Pendant offers a lovely spotlight for your novel of choice. The variety of finishes on offer allows you to select the effect which speaks to you, whether that’s a soft, golden glow or a more effervescent, steely light. In any iteration, the Hug is sure to stand out as a uniquely sculpted fixture with a futurist bent.
