Our CHICANE Tête-á-tête in an office by Dallas–based designer Traci Connell.

When a primary suite needed an office, Traci Connell, a Dallas–based designer, wanted a furnishing piece that could seamlessly serve both the bedroom and office.
“The custom tête-à-tête from MOUS allows for conversation in multiple directions—whether engaging with someone working in the office, relaxing in the bedroom, or simply enjoying the treetop views,” says Connell. “Its versatility was what drew me to the design since it functions equally well as a social seating piece and a quiet place to retreat.” Enhancing the nook with a throw and a side table gives the furniture piece its own identity.
