WE WANTTOLEAVE YOU

Speechless”

The forefront of a new spirit of tradition and luxury.

With its collection, Sé aims to infuse the values of the past - durability, craftsmanship, hand-finishing - with wit, glamour, and a hint of fantasy. Sé gives new enchantment to long-established forms, connecting the furniture of the future with its heritage.

Based in London, Sé is the brainchild of Pavlo Schtakleff, whose vision for Sé is to marry the best designers with the finest makers in Europe, and to create design that is both sumptuous and technically peerless.

Sé IS PIONEERING Sé pushes forward in the field of technology and materials, to infuse the classical language of its furniture collection with a spirit of innovation. Sé champions new materials and processes, as well as revitalising fine handiwork from a personally-sourced network of quality-assured European craftspeople.

At the same time, each collection from Sé will surprise. As well as expressing the ultimate in furniture quality, Sé will introduce pieces that are startling as well as alluring. Sé is never predictable. A founding principle of Sé is to push design forward.

Sé IS ADVENTUROUS Sé has few limits on the kinds of objects it produces. Lighting, furniture, accessories - all are part of the Sé mission. What will mark them out as Sé will be an expectation of masterful quality, allied with a sense of experimentation and possibility. A Sé piece will last forever, and at the same time articulate the perfect moment. Sé heralds a distinctive design direction.

WE ARE Sé

Sé veut exprimer à travers ses collections des valeurs de pérennité, d'excellence et de savoir-faire. Reliant le mobilier d'aujourd'hui et de demain à cet héritage, SE confère à des formes parfois traditionnelles un enchantement nouveau.

Basé à Londres, Sé est la création de Pavlo Schtakleff dont l'ambition pour Sé est de "marier" le meilleur design aux meilleurs fabricants et artisans en Europe et de générer ainsi un design à la fois somptueux et techniquement exceptionnel.

Sé EST PIONNIER Innovant, nous allons toujours plus loin dans l'exploration des technologies et des matériaux pour donner une dimension "pionnière" au langage classique de nos collections de meubles et de luminaires.

Sé PRENDRE DES RISQUEAudacieux, Sé ne se limite pas quant à la nature des objets qu'il propose. Meubles, luminaires, objets, chaque proposition s'inscrit dans la Mission de Sé.

Ce qui distingue les produits Sé est donc l'exigence d'une qualité intransigeante au service d'une créativité innovatrice.

Chaque objet Sé est conçu et fabriqué pour durer toujours. C'est une richesse patrimoniale qui magnifiera chaque moment de sa présence.

Sé revendique une avancée dans le monde du design, une inspiration et une éthique inégalées.

Desk Chair / Fauteuil de Bureau60W X 56D X 76.5H

From its slender stainless steel legs through to the padded curve of its back, the Have Me armchair is an essay in finesse. The seat is solid beech, the leather semi-aniline to give a wide choice of colours, and delicate engineering

has ensured that there are no joints on its steel frame.

Here Comes Love

Coffee Table / Table Basse135W X 90D X 36H 160W X 107D X 36H

The Here Comes Love table emphasises the two textures of steel: a harsh, rough surface, revealing an underlying expression of smoothness and sophistication. This indestructible piece of furniture weighs 250 kilograms,

and plays on the eternal aesthetic duality of rough and smooth.

Coffee Table / Table Basse135W X 93D X 36H 171W X 118D X 36H

One of the most arresting pieces in Sé's debut collection, I Only Have Eyes For You is a large coffee table of singular confidence. Made entirely from stainless steel, it has been hand polished to create a surface that shimmers, while the circular motifs have been cut by water laser to be as pure a shape as possible. Although the circular tops are attached to the flared legs, the

steel elements all blend together to create a seamless set-piece.

I Only Have Eyes For You


Only You

Desk / Bureau140W X 68D X 75H 160W X 70D X 75H

The stainless steel legs rise in a dramatic arc, breaking into the line of the wooden table top - a harmonious meeting between two radically different materials. As if to illustrate Sé's peerless attention to detail, the underside of

the table is as finished as its top.

Console154W X 31D X 87H

The Ooh La La console is one of Sé's most feminine, demonstrative pieces. Made in part from solid walnut, the skirting above the tapered legs has been hand-carved to appear as if a hanging table-cloth: an expression of skill and

craftsmanship that conjures a sense of opulence.

Table240W X 104D X 74H 260W X 104D X 74H 285W X 104D X 74H

One of the most meticulously-engineered Sé pieces, Temptation has a sense of sheer weightlessness: the result of hours of intensive craftsmanship. The stainless steel legs are turned to capture the ends of the Corian top, giving a cantilevered effect, while the hand-polished legs turn down towards the ground, varnished in a special bronze colour to give the metal greater warmth.

A timeless piece.

With a simple, sculptural shape that flares downwards, The Only One side table is Sé's only piece in bronze: a material that is durable and which harks at sculptural solidity. The top is polished to expose the material; the base has

a black patination, as if in shadow.

The Only One is produced in a limited edition run of 15.
