Downtown is both innovative and atypical, characterised by the mobility and asymmetry of its backrests. Each item is offered with a lumbar cushion, which may be covered in a co-ordinating fabric.
Creativity is a key value of the Ligne Roset brand: if a new product demands new materials or productions methods, the company will simply acquire them. Seats, pieces of furniture, lighting, textiles, rugs or bed linens: the idea precedes and the technique follows.
In the 1970’s, when the ecological movement took off in France, the Roset Company was already practicing an environmental philosophy of simple good sense.
“For me, sustainable development begins with the pleasure we derive from working in such a remarkable location such as Briord, France. When one has the good fortune to grow and develop in an environment of such quality, one naturally wants to protect it,” says Pierre Roset, President of Ligne Roset. “As the Roset Company developed, we in fact generated less and less pollution due to our own vigilance, and by the demands we make on both our suppliers and ourselves,” Today, Mr. Roset s involved at the highest level of the European Commission in his capacity as representative of Union Nationale des Industriels Fabricants pour l’Ameublement (UNIFA). The French furniture industry is deeply committed to sustainable development and has achieved a number of impressive results, including the classification of particleboard panels.
“Far more than a strategy, we favor a philosophy imprinted with respect for human beings and their environment; whether it is in the training of our staff, our choice of suppliers, or the management of our waste products,” says Mr. Roset. “Our environmental practice is nurtured by the concepts which have always guided us: creativity, innovation and quality.”
Known for its artful collaborations with both established and up-and-coming talents in contemporary design, Ligne Roset offers consumers an entire lifestyle in which to live both boldly and beautifully via its furniture collections and complimentary decorative accessories, lighting, rugs, textiles and occasional items.
