Rousseau Sofa in Performance Velvet by Christiane Lemieux

About the Item

The Rousseau Sofa from Lemieux et Cie is a study in quiet elegance, its graceful lines and sculptural silhouette evoking the refined restraint of 1940s French design. The subtly sloped arms lend a soft curvature, recalling the enveloping sophistication found in the interiors of Chanel’s Rue Cambon apartment. Made-to-order in a variety of luxurious fabrics, its tailored form feels both grounded and ethereal—a perfect balance of comfort and couture. With an understated yet distinct presence, the Rousseau Sofa invites a timeless allure into any space, seamlessly bridging past and present. The Rousseau Sofa is handmade by skilled artisans in North Carolina. We can do COM upon request. This listing is for the sofa upholstered in any of our PERFORMANCE velvet fabrics. There are 6 color options, as shown. 1) Cypress, 2) Balsam 3) Emerald 4) Hazelnut 5) Sienna 6) Patina. Please contact us if you are interested in other fabric options. We also have it available in many standard velvet colors and bouclés in a separate listing.
