Before getting out the cans of red paint, Nepal by Paola Navone is a seating collection that is made with faux fur. Although it looks real enough to call [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eilish-intense) over, the covering is simply chosen for its texture and luxurious look. Not to mention that it adds an exotic flavor to the home. The fur does mimic that of an Mongolian sheep, after all.

Created for Baxter, Nepal by Paola Navone is available in two shades, Mongolia Blue or [White](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Functional-barrier-inks), as well as different models. Whether in a rocking chair form or a two seater, the seating makes a statement. It also has a bit of a [retro aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t4-sofa) that will appeal to the nostalgic.
