Salazar worked closely with local artisans from a small town in Colombia, near her Bogotá atelier, to create every item of the Seychelles collection. Ranging in price from $30 to $350, the collection includes wicker candlesticks adorned with citrus, vases and placemats embellished with parrots and cockatoos, and woven baskets and napkin rings with bright punchy florals.
