Mackenzie Lewis and Tanner Moussa are the creative minds that run MOUS and the design studio continues paving the way with the launch of the Narrative [Arc](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-tapscott1): Volume II. The brand takes its signature approach of various influences, rooted in art, function, and architecture to the new step.

The firm is great with pushing its own boundaries from material and form and the new collection fuses [ancient architectural practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platane-collection) with whimsical inspirations in new and refreshing ways. The Narrative Arc: Volume II collection is rooted in the notion of its predecessor led by new materials, finishes, and forms. It is comprised of stylish benches, bold tables, larger case products, seating designs, and accessories -- all of these have an inviting aura.
