Welcome to the jungle is a group of objects with different names and multiple purposes: James (elephant), John (hippopotamus), Jeremy (lion), Jerry (giraffe) and Joe (crocodile). In his designs, Rui Alves was inspired by his own family and children:
- Like many children in his age my son loves to play with his ever growing collection of toy animals, and sharing this experience, with him, I came up with the idea of creating a group of special, small, pieces that might make children and adults feel the same about items of furniture. Welcome to the jungle is a group of five friends that you can use almost anyway that you want. They can be tables, stools, or even coat hangers. They can even jump over one another in order to make some shelves. Made of wood, and with a bright and glossy skin they've arrived and they have made the jungle their home.
