Additionally, the collection is done in plantation-grown mahogany that is matched with fabrics and patterns common to the original British colonies.

Island and tropical motifs also are prominent in the collection, such as the sunburst panels on the Cayman media chest or palm fronds on the Plantation bed. Dyer said these motifs “would have been part of the environment that those original artisans looked to for inspiration.”
