Studio Kër
GUMBO CHAIR
The Gumbo Chair by STUDIO KER.
Inspired in part by the ubiquity, accessibility and versatility of the internationally-produced white polypropylene ‘Monobloc’ chair (D.C. Simpson, 1946). The “Gumbo Lounging Chair” is a fiberglass lounging chair with a corresponding cushion that ultimately makes two propositions for seating—or potentially two seats from one. The chair emphasises connection in Black gatherings spaces for fellowship, intimacy and celebration. The easily anthropomorphised cushion is paired on the seat, or on the floor in the universal tradition.
Handmade in Mexico, the Gumbo Chair is made to order. For inquiries, please contact us.

READ MORESTUDIO KER, founded by Michael Bennett in 2020, emerges as a pivotal chapter in his journey. The studio’s inception gained momentum when Bennett crossed paths with the late industrial designer Imhotep Blot in 2021. United by their coastal American South upbringing and African-Haitian roots, they forged Studio Kër to delve into sculptural furniture design. Their creations serve as a canvas for exploring themes of intersectionality, segregation, and the American ghetto, while celebrating African American and diasporic identities. Each piece is a testament to place and community, intertwining historically Black cultural motifs with a conscious challenge to Western domestic norms.
Bennett’s transition from the football field, where he enjoyed an illustrious career spanning 11 seasons and a Super Bowl victory with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014, to the realm of design underscores his commitment to social justice. His advocacy extends beyond sports, evidenced by initiatives like establishing an endowment at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2021, aimed at fostering diversity in the design world.
