The RIA II Chair is a refined evolution of RIA Design Studio’s flagship piece, RIA I, thoughtfully reimagined for an urban lifestyle. Upon relocating to Brooklyn, New York, RIA’s founder found inspiration in the city’s industrial character and stylish residents. The RIA II’s brushed aluminium frame reflects New York’s rugged yet modern aesthetic, while the black pebbled leather and intricate weaving add texture and elegance. Charred oak handles, crafted using the ancient Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique, bring an international influence, embodying the Studio’s global perspective.
This luxurious indoor adaptation pairs the sleek sophistication of New York with RIA’s Afro-modernist roots, resulting in a piece that balances comfort with visual impact. RIA II is where continents and cultures intersect, representing a new definition of Contemporary African Design.
