About the Item

Ligne Roset is a well-established French furniture manufacturer and distributor. They were originally founded in 1860 in the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, by Antoine Roset, with the purpose of manufacturing bentwood for parasols and walking sticks. However, by the end of the 19th century, parasols were out of fashion and Roset began repurposing the wood to instead create chairs. Today, Ligne Roset is still run by the Roset family, directed by Antoine’s great-grandsons Pierre and Michel Roset. The name “Ligne Roset” became the company’s official name in 1959, combining both of its branches Roset and Cinna together under one umbrella. The ‘689’ model expresses the design philosophy and history of Ligne Roset, with its sleek, slightly curved ladderback - formed by two fine slats and a sturdier top rail to ensure a comfortable backrest - reminiscent of the smooth bentwood productions of the original founder. The ears of the backrest extend well beyond the top rail, elongating the overall impression and giving the chair its refined appearance. The chairs also play with symmetry and geometry, with perfect clean lines allowing for a neat and functional look. The off-white upholstered seats complement the beautiful black lacquered wood and provide ample comfort, making this an ideal and impressive set of chairs. The contrasting colours also add a harmonious depth to the overall aesthetic of the set. This model is often associated with Gio Ponti’s chairs, thanks to the similarities in construction with the delicate body, the high backs, and the slightly angled tapered legs. This stunning set of four chairs, designed and manufactured by Ligne Roset, showcase an exquisite blend of elegance and quality, standing as a timeless testament to French craftsmanship and ingenuity. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The lacquer shows slight signs of wear. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric.

Ligne Roset

With enduring designs like the immensely plush, Pop art–inspired Togo lounge chair and sofa, Ligne Roset has become synonymous with radical luxury furniture. However, when Antoine Roset (1841–93) started the company in 1860 in the small French town of Oussiat, its focus was on wooden umbrella handles.

In 1892, Ligne Roset’s founder expanded with a property in Montagnieu where he set up a wood-processing factory, eventually expanding into manufacturing chairs. After his death, his wife, Marie-Victorine, took over before his son, Emile Roset, began leading the company in the 1910s.

It wasn’t until after World War II that Antoine’s grandson, Jean Roset, would recognize the need for furniture in settings like schools, hospitals and retirement homes and take inspiration from Scandinavian modern design for functional pieces made primarily from affordable beech.

Under Jean, Ligne Roset supplied quite a few European institutions with beautiful wood furnishings. In the 1970s, he shifted the company’s focus again, this time looking to domestic and residential markets. Around this time, Jean’s two sons, Pierre and Michel, joined the company.

Ligne Roset opened its first store in 1973 with one of the most popular collections being designer Michel Ducaroy’s Togo modular sofa and chairs — classics of contemporary French design that look like oversize bent pillows.

After the success of this initial designer collaboration, Ligne Roset brought on more guest designers over the following decades, including Didier Gomez, Pascal Mourgue, Peter Maly, Pierre Paulin, Inga Sempé and Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Paulin’s Elysée sofa and Pumpkin chair — designed in 1971 for Elysée Palace — are among the brand’s most popular pieces. In 1975, the company introduced its Cinna brand, known to collectors for the Sandra sofa designed by Annie Hiéronimus and other alluring seating.

Ligne Roset continues to be run by the Roset family who works on revolutionary furniture in partnership with a variety of collaborators. It has operated in Briord since 1973 where it produces its iconically sleek and innovative pieces.
