    Description

    (Itura: relief)
    A sculptural study in spinal healing, reimagined through the language of African throne typology. Crafted in black-stained mahogany and upholstered in deep burgundy velvet.
    At its center, a removable wedge-shaped backrest recalls the medical pillows used in recovery, transformed here into an architectural element that invites stillness, realignment, and presence.
    The chair is grounded by bold, circular legs that echo vertebral discs; stacked and weight-bearing. These legs can be unscrewed for transport.

    First unveiled at Collectible NYC 2025.

    About RIA Design Studio Visit Showroom →

    Founded in 2024 by artist, designer, and architect Tobi Onafeko, RIA Design Studio embodies an Afro-modernist vision that merges the structural elegance of modernism with the rich narratives of African heritage. Born in the United States and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Onafeko's diverse background informs his unique design approach, which was further refined through his MA in Architecture from the University of Edinburgh. Now based in New York, he introduces RIA’s work to a global audience, crafting pieces that transform spaces into statements of personal heritage and contemporary luxury.RIA’s hand-crafted furniture pays homage to African vernacular forms while embodying the clarity of modernist principles. Guided by form follows function and truth to materials, each piece reinterprets these tenets through an African lens, turning functionality into storytelling. These sculptural creations capture narratives of memory, culture, and place, resulting in furniture that is both rooted in tradition and transformative in presence. RIA Design Studio harmonizes modernity and tradition, with Onafeko infusing each creation with architectural precision and a deep love for African artistry. Every model is crafted to resonate beyond mere utility, appealing to those who seek meaningful connections in living spaces.
