R&Y Augousti, founded in Paris in 1989 by visionary husband-and-wife duo Ria and Yiouri Augousti, represents the pinnacle of refined, globally inspired design. The maison is internationally recognized for its distinctive use of shagreen, masterfully paired with brass and other rare, exotic materials. Drawing from Art Deco influences, each creation embodies a sense of quiet opulence, where form, texture, and proportion are meticulously balanced.
Handcrafted by exceptional artisans in the Philippines, every R&Y Augousti piece is produced with uncompromising attention to detail, resulting in objects of remarkable depth and individuality. The natural variations inherent in stingray shagreen and other organic finishes ensure that no two pieces are ever identical, reinforcing the bespoke nature of the collection. This revival of shagreen as a luxury material has become a signature of the brand, setting new standards for elegance and craftsmanship.
Today, R&Y Augousti collections are presented in the world’s most prestigious interiors and showrooms, including Paris, New York, and Los Angeles at the Pacific Design Center’s MOGUL. More than furniture or decorative objects, their creations are sculptural expressions of artistry and heritage, celebrating craftsmanship, materiality, and a timeless vision of luxury living.
