‘African heritage is full of amazing art and tradition that I wanted to explore and celebrate with others,’ said former NFL star and Studio Kër founder Michael Bennett, on the inspiration behind his latest collaboration with lighting and digital manufacturing studio Gantri. ‘I got glimpses of it from my grandmother while growing up in Louisiana, and ever since, I’ve been drawn to designs that capture the spirit and strength of those who came before me. Furniture is deeply narrative for me—it's where the stories of my ancestors and my own come together in a tangible way. I love how a piece of furniture can do such a good job of telling stories that are both personal and universal.’
