Stefon Diggs' furniture line Si Vis Pacem debuts a collection of seating and tables with a debut lineup that includes a lounge chair, side chair, and coffee table. The lounge chair features a contoured seat with high-density foam and an aluminum frame. Upholstery for the seating pieces uses a woven textile designed for durability and comfort. The coffee table uses a solid wood top with a natural finish and a welded metal base finished in matte black. Each piece is numbered as part of a limited production edition.
The designs were developed in collaboration with a furniture maker to balance structural stability with everyday usability. Dimensions for each item were set to standard residential furniture sizes. The collection was revealed at a launch event attended by Diggs and collaborators, with availability scheduled through select retailers and direct order. Production is planned for a single run in late 2025.
