Subtle animal shapes are incorporated into all the pieces, from a [coffee table with antler-like supports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceiba-series) to an [animal den-shaped sectional sofa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-collection-1). Nigel Coates designed the Animalia furniture series for Fratelli Boffi. The entire series will be on display in Milan next month.
