About the Item
Two-Seater Sofa Model “Satan” By Bernard Govin For Ligne RosetThe French designer Bernard Govin is known for his wide range of futuristic designs for, for example, Ligne Roset. Far ahead of its time even at the time, some of its designs, such as the Asmara set, are still currently in production. The sofa that we offer here, on the other hand, is on the rarer end of the spectrum. The model is called ""Satan"" and is a cheeky reference to the design of this sofa. The pointy ears and the reversed horns at the front suggest that Govin did not just come up with this not undisputed name. In addition to this striking name, the sofa is technically a tour de force due to the many unusual angles and shapes around which the leather has to be stitched. Take a look, for example, at the upright seam that runs continuously across the sofa. A rather sophisticated detail. The interior of the sofa consists entirely of a piece of foam and therefore makes this item extremely light. Given the sculptural design, it is not necessarily a sofa that belongs against the wall or a wall. The intention is to set him free in space. Especially because the back slopes forward and is also fully finished in leather and on top of that it shows the well-known Ligne Roset label on the edge.A rare item that has been reupholstered in a full aniline cognac leather is what we offer you here and the condition of this ""Satan"" sofa is excellent. And last but not least a special mention has to be made of the superb seating comfort."

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.

Three-seater And Two-Seater Model 'Kali' By Michel Ducaroy For Ligne Roset
By Michel Ducaroy, Ligne Roset
Located in Hellouw, NL
Three-seater and two-seater model 'Kali' by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset.We know the illustrious designer and integral part of the French label Ligne Roset from the iconic and best-selling Togo line. But a period of five years before the release of this line, Ducaroy was already developing and releasing models consisting entirely of foam. This model called Kali is a fruit of that period and was designed and released in 1970.We are talking about a two-seater and a three-seater with a pleasant seating comfort. You can really sink into it in a splendid manner. It forces you, as it were, to lounge and to let a sense of relaxation take hold of you. The L-contoured sofas are marked by rounded shapes and a beautiful reupholstery in a shimmering wine red bouclé colorful give this design extra cachet.When we take a look at the seat, a traditional tufting technique is revealed that, in addition to pulling the fabric taut, also adds a beautiful pattern. The stitching on the left side of each sofa bears the Ligne Roset label and the bottom cloth is also original and fully covered with the Roset pattern mark.As indicated earlier, the reupholstery has been redone. With these two you will find yourself a rare Ligne Roset Kali...
