Designed by Sebastian Herkner, the Taru collection is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that define Ligne Roset. Herkner, a long-time admirer of the brand, sought to create a seating solution that seamlessly combines exceptional comfort with impeccable design.

The name “Taru” was chosen for its reference to the elephant, a majestic and sociable creature that symbolizes elegance and the urgent need for conservation. This meaningful inspiration aligns with the thoughtful approach that Herkner and Ligne Roset bring to their creations.

The Taru collection stands out for its inviting design and distinctive aesthetic. The fully upholstered base lends the settees a sculptural quality, while the subtly curved backrest, offered in a bi-material treatment, adds visual and tactile appeal. Available in various configurations — large settee, medium settee, and one-arm settee (left or right) —

Taru offers versatility for different spaces and lifestyles. Each piece is thoughtfully designed, from the footstools to the cushions, inviting users to relax in style, whether enjoying a quiet moment alone or gathering with friends and family.

What sets Taru apart is its duality and customization options. The backrest, a key design element, is as visually appealing from the back as it is from the front, making it ideal for placement in open spaces where every angle matters.

The collection also offers a wide range of material and colour combinations, enabling personalization to suit any interior. Optional additions, like a matching footstool or a complementary back cushion, further enhance its comfort and functionality.

In 2021, the collection expanded to include a compact armchair and a “canalounge,” a distinctive curved sectional sofa. These additions maintain the original spirit of the collaboration between Herkner and Ligne Roset, delivering bold, contemporary designs that prioritize both form and function. Taru remains a celebration of craftsmanship and elegance, embodying the essence of Ligne Roset’s design philosophy.
