Roham Shamekh Unveils Manifestation Chair in Gold Bronze at Milan Design Week 2025
Roham Shamekh makes his highly anticipated debut at Milan Design Week 2025 with the Manifestation Chair in Gold Bronze, a striking piece from Pharrell’s Echoes collection. Presented as a standout centrepiece in the collective exhibition Deoron Elevating Objects, curated by the digital platform Deoron, the chair will be on display at Via Paolo Frisi 3 (Porta Venezia, Milano) from April 7 to 13. Following its overwhelming reception at Design Miami—where the Echoes collection became the most interacted-with experiential furniture label at the fair—the chair returns in a singular, luminous gold bronze edition, cementing its status as an iconic presence.
More than just a material choice, gold in the Manifestation Chair takes on a symbolic and energetic role, transforming it from a functional object into an immersive experience. Gold has long been associated with beauty, protection, enlightenment, and timelessness, from ancient artefacts to sacred iconography. In Shamekh’s vision, the chair transcends these historical references, turning the act of sitting into a ritual—an opportunity for reflection, manifestation, and a deeper engagement with personal aspirations. Its sculptural form balances architectural structure with organic fluidity, ensuring it is not just an object to be admired but one that invites connection and contemplation.
The addition of sculptural cherubim—reimagined through Pharrell’s playful lens—infuses the chair with a sense of whimsy and deeper meaning. These figures symbolise unseen influences that guide us, turning the chair into an artistic meditation on synchronicity. Unbeknownst to Pharrell, his music and creative influence once played a pivotal role in Shamekh’s artistic journey, reinforcing the chair’s narrative of interconnectedness and hidden forces at work.
With its radiant presence and deeply considered symbolism, the Manifestation Chair is the defining statement of Elevating Objects, transforming gold from a material into a conduit for connection, introspection, and wonder. As visitors encounter this piece, they are invited to open their hearts, make a wish, and engage with the energy of gold, reflecting on the power of their thoughts and the possibility of manifesting their dreams.
