"There's a heavy feeling through the grey colorway but with a ceratin lightness in shapes and details." The shoes were created in collaboration with South African artist Esther Mahlangu.

Fung + Blatt designed the master bathroom vanity, which features Agape washbasins and fixtures and an angled mirror that reflects the oak trees seen through the skylights.
