The bare necessities of life—fresh air flowing freely, crystal clear blue seas and skies, lush greenery, and the warmth of our Balou easy armchair. From a favorite storybook that I have read as a child, ‘Baloo,’ the plump, gentle, and easy-going bear from The Jungle Book reminds me of soft and cozy hugs—my tell-tale inspiration for this collection. Sink into summer sunsets. Do nothing. Lay back cozily and indulge yourself in a comforting embrace of our Balou.
