Collection Story
Origin
Dita is a storage range designed by Pagnon & Pelhaître for Ligne Roset. Ligne Roset's concept text sets it apart from metallic office furniture by using lacquered wood panels instead of sheet metal. The designer page lists the Dita pieces among the duo's Ligne Roset creations; the studio itself dates from 1979.
Design Language
A frame of slim bronze-finish anodised aluminium uprights holds lacquered wood panels, with a matching injected-zamak handle and short feet that continue the uprights. Standard colours are satin white, Argile and Pearl, with twelve more to order.
Key Pieces
The range includes the secretaire, chests of drawers, bedside tables, sideboards, console tables, a storage column, a shelving unit, TV cabinets and a bench or TV unit, plus low tables and a Dita system composition listed on the designer page.
