Story
Comfortable and welcoming
Ligne Roset's text for the Taru range says the designer wanted a comfortable place to sit that shows the craftsmanship and expertise of the house. The fully upholstered base gives the model its character, and the seat is intertwined with the subtly curved backrest in a bi-material treatment.
Worth seeing from behind
The brand says the rear section of the back may be customised as desired, so that fabrics and leathers and their colours can be mixed. It describes the model as having two faces, worth showing off as much from the back as from the front, and offers an optional back cushion and a footstool with an identical base.
