Se? previews monolithic Beneath the Heavens furniture series by Ini Archibong



A throne-like desk chair and a sofa for fantasising on are among pieces launching as the second part of Ini Archibong's collection for furniture brand Sé.
The 11 new additions, by the Nigerian-American designer who is based in Switzerland, complete the 22-piece collection, the first half of which was debuted last year.
The second instalment will be showcased within the brand's usual spot at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Milan design week, which takes place later this month.
The Oshun sofa by Ini Archibong is upholstered in leather and fabric
Its name, Below The Heavens, makes reference to Archibong's inspiration for both parts of the collection, which he said is "the eternal interplay between heaven and earth".
While Part I focused more on celestial bodies and sky-gazing, Part II is inspired by terrestrial and monumental elements. Archibong examines the wooden elements of an Atlas desk chair before it is hand-stained
"Here, I was particularly inspired by the monolithic shapes of standing stones," said Archibong. "The new part of the collection builds upon this theme."
Described by the brand as statuesque and mature, Part II includes lighting, glassware, seating and tables and the pieces feature updated wood finishes as well as bespoke crystal colours.
