Liana, or better known as "Jungle Vine", is widely popular and has been available to European vivarium enthusiasts for years. With its unique surface and texture, liana offers a great opportunity for artists to imagine designs. The teak root was sourced from the finest teak plantations in Java, Indonesia, which is known to have the ideal conditions for high grade Teak quality. Teak has a high oil content, giving it the highest decay-resistance among all-natural wood products. Due to its durability, while it is still used for boat building, yachts, exterior construction, indoor and outdoor furniture, it also very dear to artists and sculptors for making intricate carvings and elaborate sculptures. Lotus Arts de Vivre uses various free-formations of the teak branches, teak root or drift wood to further hand-carve and create its designs, giving wood a second life. 

Chameleons can hide with ease as their skin changes colour based on their environment and mood. This symbolically serves as a totem of fast change, adaptability, and the ability to blend in or keep a low profile.
