Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the New England Patriots, has debuted his furniture collection Si Vis Pacem, featuring pieces designed as peaceful refuges. The collection, which includes sinuous mirrors, geometric benches, and a chair evoking grassy earth, was unveiled at Design Miami during Art Basel in late 2025. Diggs discussed the project in a recent interview, highlighting parallels between his athletic discipline and creative pursuits.
Stefon Diggs, recently seen at the 2026 Super Bowl supporting the New England Patriots, balances his football career with ventures in design and fashion. In addition to his 2022 fashion line Liem Homme and a prior collaboration with Paulin, Paulin, Paulin, Diggs introduced Si Vis Pacem at Design Miami in late 2025. The brand's name reflects his vision of a peaceful refuge amid a demanding life. The collection comprises six pieces on display at the New York-based Tuleste Factory gallery.
Diggs explained his design journey in an interview with Interior Design. "As a creative, I’ve always had a need to express myself—whether that was [through] clothes or curating my surroundings," he said. He built fluency through collecting art, furniture, and clothing while consuming inspiration outside of training. Among influences, he cited the Paulin brand for its close relationship and lessons, alongside the intentional freedom of 1970s and 1980s designs.
The collection began with a sofa mirroring the form of an H bench, evolving into items that create safe, inspiring spaces. Diggs's artist statement notes he "go[es] to war every day," referring to obligations like football, family, and business before personal time. "When it’s finally the end of the day... it’s really important to me that that space feels inspiring and safe so I can get a second to ground myself and feel at peace," he added. Pieces emphasize smooth, welcoming forms without harsh elements.
A self-described "texture guy," Diggs prioritizes materials that convey intention, such as upholstery mimicking grass for The Hill chair. Names draw from nature to embody paradise at home. Balancing careers, he relies on a small team during the season and dedicates off-season time to family and design. Football's dedication informs his work: "The dedication and commitment I have to football is what formed the foundation of my design work."
Looking ahead, Diggs plans to expand Si Vis Pacem and incorporate new design areas into his brands, hinting at surprises.
