Phileas Medium Sofa and Ottoman in Harald 3 Sangria.

The Phileas collection, designed by Philippe Nigro for Ligne Roset, both challenges and surprises: Nigro has managed the impressive feat of achieving cutting edge modernity, while imbuing his creation with real personality and a strong visual identity that feels both contemporary and timeless.

With vertical quilting recalls the upholstery of 1950s automobile seats, Phileas is elevated by an intangible touch of whimsy – one that brings to mind everything from banquettes from the hushed surroundings of English gentlemen’s clubs to the novels of Agatha Christie and Jules Verne, and the balloons of the Montgolfier brothers.
