amédée is a settee and armchair combination, designed around a lumbar support which is quilted and stitched just like the bucket seats of the best italian motor cars. the armchair may be rotating, and there is also a footstool for when it's time to relax. chic, urban and thus compact, this family of seating acquires undeniable luxury object status when upholstered in the new full grain, pure aniline orga leather, with its slightly smooth, glossy finish.
andy seems set to be a great classic, bearing as it does the imprint of pierre paulin. in 1962, reinterpreting florence knoll's settee from 1954, he softened all its contours, reducing the number of buttons to eliminate the severe squares of quilting and made the metal structure underlining the edges of its base disappear, retaining only the four legs: in short, he designed a new domestic settee, both sensual and refined. and as a precious refinement, he mounted the chromed steel legs inside.
after a long period during which it was only to be seen in the collections of the musée des arts décoratifs, asmara is now making its big comeback to the collection for the 160th anniversary of ligne roset. asmara defines itself as a modular settee in a stretch fabric, the concave shapes of which voluptuously hug the contours of the body in an aesthetically human design.
ligne roset was able to work on the reissue of the bonnie seating using a real collector’s item, one of only a few very rare examples in existence (modèles 500 and 500/2 – design 1975). from the outset, the bonnie seating was striking in terms of its comfort, both visual and real, hugging the lines of the human body fiercely. the bonnie seating is at once extremely comfortable and also clever, without being too clever.
enki is the first seating evangelos vasileiou has designed for ligne roset. intended to respond to multiple requirements, its pure, elegant lines lend themselves to both stand-alone seating and corner compositions, with a range of 18 items in total. to make it possible to tailor both looks and comfort, there is a choice between 2 leg heights (10cm or 13cm), giving a seat height of either 41cm or 44cm, and a choice of 2 heights for the back cushions.
'classic, chic and comfortable, international and timeless.' with only a handful of elements, all of which are characterised by their irreproachable proportions, it is possible to create a wealth of different settees and corner compositions.
in 2019, the enduring success of the flax armchairs since their launch in 2010 has led philippe nigro to complement them with a settee with the same construction. perfectly proportioned, it offers two generous seat places whilst occupying the least possible space: with a depth of 80cm, it is only 135cm wide! the one-piece seat cushion reinforces the impression of discreet elegance. ideal for small spaces, its walnut frame nonetheless lightens its visual presence still further.
a deep, multifaceted, international settee, the comfort of which is very apparent thanks to its articulated headrest and 'stretch' stitching; it was designed to become a great international 'classic'. the backrest uses an inverted chain system, which makes it possible to create a high headrest in vertical position, or a rolled-up one in combination with a lumbar cushion, or a less deep position. the feather-filled lumbar cushions are dense, for a perfect fit.
if the term 'hémicycle' might be evocative of the assemblée nationale, it was also chosen for its completely different geometrical connotation. the use of this straight seat must also be well suited to use in institutions, public spaces or more traditional habitations. it represents a classically-styled welcoming place capable of travelling between the highest echelons of power and the intimacy of a contemporary apartment.
in 2023 ligne roset is reissuing its emblematic kashima model. it is the 'comfortable chesterfield'. kashima designed by michel ducaroy offers classic customers the 'english' comfort. the generous shapes of this model enable to give a reassuring image to an all-foam seat. all-foam seating, kashima hides, under its agreeable appearance, a soft comfort in rounded and curved lines. the classicism of its shapes does not deprive kashima of a touch of fantasy.

the murtoli designed for the outdoors goes inside, which confirms the permeability of spaces. a broad 240 x 120 seat platform, made from fibreglass slats and ultra-flexible foam, mounted on a matt black aluminium base. the back cushions are all foam and weighted with a 15mm wooden plate (indoor) to provide a support surface for the non-slip material. the back cushions allow you to find the ideal position, by moving them on the platform.
