Indoor/Outdoor Furniture Designs for a Stylish Take on the White Lotus-Inspired Aesthetic

Tribe Side Table

Transmitting all the characteristics of a rich and moody Tropical aesthetic, OKHA Design Studio’s most recent furniture collection, TRIBE, perfectly captures one of the moment’s hottest decor trends. Offering a stylish take on the White Lotus resort style-inspired aesthetic, the collection of indoor/outdoor tables and chairs was designed by OKHA Creative Director Adam Court.

Featuring two benches, three side table and a coffee table, each meticulously handcrafted and finished in solid wood, TRIBE designs are both tactile and functional and infuse domestic, hospitality or wellness projects with a powerfully grounded aesthetic steeped in meaningful multicultural storytelling. Strikingly organic, substantial, and detailed with bands of pyramidic carving, TRIBE conveys the raw presence of natural materials and honest form.

Commenting on the collection, Court says, “Tribe is both practical designs and bold, expressive works. Tribe is fully functional, its design principles are based the simplest of geometrical forms that engage and relate to one another in a logical manner. The bases are strong, they stack form on form that supports a horizontal plane, they couldn’t be simpler. Brutal simplicity, brutal poetry.”
