France, 2000s
Designed in 2010 by Inga Sempé for Ligne Roset, the elegant Ruché seating series suggests a balance of tradition and modernity. On a strait, slender frame of solid anthracite-stained beech (reinforced by steel) the delicate quilted upholstery of this sofa drapes blanket-like across each arm. The undulations of the softly gathered velour create an effect both beautiful and comfortable.
