Oluwatobi Ashiru

I designed the Apere desk and stool to make the user feel like they are in their own throne. As a Nigerian from the Yoruba tribe, I chose the name Apèrè because it means ‘throne’ or ‘seat of power’ in Yoruba. I want anyone who sits at this desk to feel that same sense of power, along with a touch of privacy and tranquility that the desk height offers.
