Ruché Sofa Meridienne in Felt by Inga Sempé for Ligne Roset, France, 2010, Set of 4

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Inga Sempé says about her design: The frame of RUCHÉ is made of solid beech, tinted or natural. It was important to me to offer a version in natural beech; Natural wood is simply beautiful, qualitative, authentic, modern. And at the same time it brings us peace because it is one of the few natural materials that you can have in your living room. A thick blanket with special quilting, quilted upholstery with a square grid and interrupted seams rests on the delicate feet. Alternately held by the stitches or released again, the fabric puffs up in places, which gives it its special look and its name RUCHÉ (ruffle = a gathered or pleated fabric that is sewn onto a piece of clothing). The ups and downs of the cover create a variety of light reflections, the shadows vary depending on the fabric. A simple flat weave becomes richer, a velour absorbs the light depending on the viewing angle.

Few traces of wear. We offer the "Meridienne" version here, left armrest with shelf, plus the stool with the two loose cushions.

Felt with padding, quilted, solid beech wood frame, painted anthracite, 2 Felt cushions with down filling.

About the Maker

Ligne Roset

French high-end furniture company Ligne Roset began in 1860, when a young, former waiter, Antoine Roset (1841-1893), opened a woodworking workshop in a small village in the Ain region of eastern France. His company, Veuve A. Roset, specialized in walking sticks and, soon after, parasols.

When the fashions changed toward the end of the 19th century, the company pivoted to focus on the production of frames for chairs and stools. By the time Antoine passed away in 1893, Veuve A. Roset was dedicated exclusively to furniture production. Antoine was succeeded first by his wife Marie-Victorine (1854- 1923), followed by his son Emile (1882-1946) in the 1910s. In 1936, Roset produced its first upholstered seats, mainly in leather.

In 1946, the company passed to the 3rd generation, Jean Roset (1920-1999), who would play a key role in taking the Roset brand to international acclaim. In the postwar years, Jean transformed the company to meet the demands of postwar reconstruction by redirecting production to the contract market—developing modern, Scandinavian-inspired furniture lines suited for use in schools, universities, hospitals, and other public spaces. By the mid-1960s, the company was producing more experimental designs, often utilizing Dacron foam, aimed at the residential market. Examples include Bernard Govin's Asmara Modular Sofa (1966), as well as Michel Ducaroy's Adria Lounge (1968).

1973 was a big year for Roset: the company rebranded "Ligne Roset," the first branded retail spaces were opened, the iconic, pillow-like Togo Sofa by Michael Ducaroy was introduced. Around this time, the 4th generation of Rosets joined, Pierre and Michel, who run the company today. The company's reputation has only grown in the 21st century, due in large part to the highly editorial character of Ligne Roset's collections, such as the Zen Sofa by Claude Brisson (1986), Profile Sofa by Jean Nouvel (1988), Jean Charles Sofa by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (1988), Facet Sofa by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec (2005), Moel Sofa by Inga Sempé, and the Pumpkin Sofa originally design by Pierre Paulin in 1971 and put into production by Ligne Roset in 2008.
