The Andy collection by Ligne Roset, designed by Pierre Paulin in 1962, is an ode to softness and balance of forms. An evolution of modernist rigor, where the structure dissolves, leaving room for fluid and welcoming volumes. Slender legs lightly support generous seats, while the elegant and sculpted profile enhances their refined simplicity.
Ligne Roset
Ligne Roset is a French family-run furniture company founded in 1860 in Montagnieu by Antoine Roset. Originally a manufacturer of walking sticks, it expanded into a wider market in 1936 with the production of upholstered furniture. Synonymous with modern luxury, Ligne Roset offers a wide range of furniture, from interior furniture to lighting and accessories, all designed by internationally renowned designers such as Michel Ducaroy and Pierre Paulin. The company is known for its in-house production, which allows it to control the quality of the product at every stage.
Pierre Paulin
Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) was a visionary designer who knew how to combine functionality and poetry in his creations. Growing up in France, he was influenced by his uncle Georges Paulin, an automotive engineer and designer, and his great-uncle Freddy Stoll, a sculptor, who passed on to him the idea that an object should be beautiful from every angle. Initially he devoted himself to ceramics in Vallauris and sculpture in Burgundy, but a hand injury pushed him to change his path. He then studied at the École Camondo in Paris, where a teacher encouraged him to work with Marcel Gascoin, bringing him closer to Nordic and American design. Paulin was inspired by Ray and Charles Eames and George Nelson, calling his functionalist approach "two drops of poetry".
