A "Kashima" pale blue leather sofa by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset, France, late 20th century
An iconic 1970s design, the Kashima sofa was designed by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset. Constructed from foam, this two-seater sofa has a solid form which is fully upholstered in soft pale blue stitched leather. Its lines enhance the soft curves of the sofa and the folds of the leather, giving the sofa its distinct aesthetic. This rare model presents the perfect addition to any contemporary living space and offers a great balance of comfort and style.
Born into a family of industrialists and designers of contemporary furniture, Michel Dacuroy trained at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts, Lyon. Having joined the Roset Company very early on, at a time of rapid growth, he has constant access to insightful marketing and a highly capable technical team. He has responsibility for the research, development and design submissions vital to ensuring the company's brands ever-more secure positioning on the market.
He designed a range of furniture for young people, along with numerous upholstery models, settees and furniture. With the advent in the 1960's and 1970's of new materials such as foams, quilting and thermoformed plastics, he designed a large number of pieces for the domestic market including the Adria, the Koufra, the Kashima, the Safi, the Kali, and not least the model Togo, a 'seat-cushion' which still forms part of the Ligne Roset collection today.
