Lovely curved sculptural vase with wood and bamboo inlaid marquetry designed and produced by famed decorative arts design firm Ria & Youri Augousti, Paris. An early piece from the 1990s. Marked underside: "R&Y Augousti, Paris. Made in The Philippines" with company brand logo. 
 
Note: R&Y Augousti was founded in 1989 by husband-wife duo Ria & Yiouri Augousti. Their artistic backgrounds brought them together as innovators in their field by reviving the artisanal techniques of shagreen and other exotic materials that were predominant in the Art Deco period of the 1930s.
Through their mix of vintage and contemporary design, their furniture and home accessories brands were met with worldwide praise.
From a debut collection for the luxurious Hotel Crillon in Paris to exclusive collections for luxury stores like Barneys New York & Bergdorf Goodman, they finally opened their flagship store on the famous Rue Du Bac in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France.
From this, they began to work closely with famous worldwide interior designers, architects, and celebrities to create custom pieces for their homes and projects, all within keeping to the Augousti universe.
Although shagreen is their signature DNA, R&Y Augousti is known as the pioneer of pattern mixes of exotic materials of shagreen, shell, parchment, eel skin, semi-precious stones, snakeskin, and metal. Their stunning patterns are identifiable by their worldwide clientele.
