Product description
The Ligne Roset Dianthus in Rare ‘Liberty of London’ Floral Velour
A masterpiece of French design meets British textile heritage.
Designed in 1978 by Michel Ducaroy—the visionary behind the iconic Togo—this Dianthus lounge chair for Ligne Roset is a rare collector’s gem. While its low-slung, “Space Age” silhouette is a triumph of ergonomic comfort, it is the exceptional upholstery that truly sets this piece apart.
The Liberty Legacy
This chair is draped in its original, highly sought-after Liberty floral velour. Known globally for its intricate patterns and artisanal quality, the Liberty of London fabric on this Dianthus features:
Intricate Botanical Motif: A dense, tapestry-like floral pattern in a sophisticated palette of moss green, earthy ochre, and deep chocolate brown.
Luxurious Tactility: A high-pile, heavy-weight velvet that captures light beautifully, adding a rich, multi-dimensional texture to the room.
The 70s “Bohemian-Chic”: This specific collaboration between Ligne Roset and Liberty represents the height of 1970s luxury—blending avant-garde French furniture with classic English romanticism.
Design Features
Ducaroy’s Signature: The “biscuit-tufted” quilting provides a structured yet incredibly soft “sink-in” experience, utilizing high-density polyether foam that retains its shape over decades.
Modular Versatility: Its armless, monolithic form allows it to serve as a standalone sculptural statement or as part of a larger modular sofa arrangement.
A Rare Collector’s Investment
The Dianthus in Liberty fabric is significantly rarer than the standard monochrome versions. It is a prized find for those who curate interiors with a focus on textile history, authenticity, and the maximalist vintage aesthetic.
