Sé
When the line began in 2007, Sé had a vision of making luxurious contemporary furniture and reclaiming the glamour and quality of 20th century pieces. The aim was to collaborate with talented European designers to build a catalogue of highly-crafted objects, much like a gallery or couture house. This collection of plush pastel velvet seats are designed by Slovenia-based Nika Zupan and feel quite modern while maintaining classic lines that would allow them to fit into any style home.

The Aava collection grew in 2016 with the addition of a new stool option that’s available in two heights, myriad material combinations (including a new wooden base), and plenty of beautiful color options. The mix of the nubby upholstered seat pads with the stark white polypropylene shells creates great visual interest.
