Bee R Designs is a Southern art and design house inspired by the places, traditions, and wonderfully unexpected details that make this region feel like home.
Each design begins as a piece of art—thoughtfully composed, rich with color, and layered with subtle details waiting to be discovered. Familiar Southern subjects are reimagined with a point of view that is refined, whimsical, and distinctly our own.
Created for beautiful homes, lively tables, and the stories shared around them, our pieces are made to feel personal, timeless, and worthy of collecting.

THE ACADIANA COLLECTION
Rooted in the stories of South Louisiana, The Acadiana Collection celebrates home through three installments: the whimsical alligators of The Bayou Ballet, the enduring beauty of The Century Oak, and the joyful Cajun tradition of Le Courir.
THE UNCOMMON SOUTH COLLECTION
The Uncommon South Collection reimagines Southern icons with a modern, artful spirit: the quiet strength of The Prowl, the colorful movement of The Southern Spill, and the refined beauty of Petals and Pearls. Look closely—a crowned bee hides within each design.

Inspired by the rhythm of South Louisiana, The Bayou Ballet imagines what might happen when the bayou grows quiet and its most unexpected dancers take the stage.
A graceful company of alligators stretches, turns, and glides across a rich purple landscape—each with its own pose, personality, and sense of movement. Playful without becoming ordinary, they transform one of Louisiana’s wildest residents into something elegant and wonderfully unexpected.
Where Southern wildlife meets a little theatrical magic, the bayou has never moved so beautifully.

Some places seem to hold every story they have ever witnessed.
Standing beside the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette, the centuries-old oak has watched generations gather beneath its sweeping branches. It is a living symbol of endurance, belonging, and the quiet beauty of remaining deeply rooted.
Century Oak honors that familiar landmark through a hand-illustrated composition of jewel-toned purple, warm gold, and soft cream. Art Deco details frame the tree, while the cathedral rests gently in the background—a subtle reminder of the history surrounding it.
A tribute to strong roots, shared memories, and the places that continue to call us home.

There is a particular kind of strength that never needs to announce itself.
The Prowl captures that quiet confidence in the moment before movement—a tiger stepping deliberately through shallow water, powerful, watchful, and completely at home in the wild.
Expressive brushstrokes and unexpected jewel tones soften the traditional tiger while preserving its unmistakable presence. Framed by geometric details inspired by the lines of mahjong, the design is bold without being loud and commanding without ever losing its grace.
For the player who knows when to wait, when to move, and when to make her presence known.

THE CENTURY OAK
American Mahjong Tile Set
Beneath the sweeping branches of Lafayette’s historic Century Oak, nature, architecture and a touch of Southern whimsy come together.
Inspired by the oak and neighboring Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, this collection reimagines traditional mahjong through blue-and-gold sanctuary stars, graceful oak branches and richly detailed Romanesque arches. Magnolia blossoms celebrate the beauty of the South, while a peaceful dove, crowned bees and a tiger hidden among the foliage reveal themselves as unexpected treasures.
Finished in pearlescent ivory, cathedral blue, deep burgundy and antique gold, each tile carries a small piece of the story—from sacred spaces and enduring roots to the wild spirit found beneath the oak.
Designed to feel timeless, collected and unmistakably Acadiana.
The Century Oak
An original design by Bee R Designs
The South is colorful, layered, and rarely contained.
The Southern Spill captures that spirit in motion—a joyful collision of pigment, pattern, and personality flowing freely across the mat. Swirls of water, petals, shells, and poured paint appear and disappear within the design, allowing every player to discover something different.
Bold geometric details bring order to the beautiful chaos, much like mahjong itself: part strategy, part chance, and always more interesting when the unexpected happens.
Because sometimes the most memorable stories begin when something spills.
