A symbol of revolutionary 70s and 80s design, Ligne Roset is reissuing its Kashima range for Fuori Salone 2025 – a connecting of past and present worlds one might say…
Milan Design Week 2025 will witness the return of an iconic design classic, as Ligne Roset reissues the Kashima armchair, a hallmark of 1970s and 1980s design. The celebrated French furniture brand is set to showcase the revamped Kashima range at Fuori Salone 2025, bringing a fresh perspective to a collection that embodies the experimental and bold aesthetic of its time.
The era in which the Kashima armchair was conceived was defined by vibrant colours, innovative materials, and forward-thinking creativity. The reissue pays homage to this transformative period, breathing new life into a design that remains as relevant today as it was decades ago.
Each piece in the collection has been carefully reinterpreted, striking a balance between nostalgia and contemporary evolution while staying true to the visionary spirit of 1975; it is an excellent choice to exhibit at Milan Design Week 2025, which centres around the theme of ‘Connecting Worlds’.
Originally designed by Michel Ducaroy in 1976, the Kashima range is now expanded with a new generously proportioned armchair, complementing the settees already present in the collection. True to Ligne Roset’s philosophy of blending tradition with modernity, the chair features an entirely foam-based structure, ensuring unparalleled comfort and relaxation. This seamless integration of ergonomic design and aesthetic sophistication underscores the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.
The Ligne Roset Milan exhibition will be hosted at Mohd Milano, located at Via Turati 3, Milan. Renowned for its refined curation of contemporary design, Mohd offers the perfect setting for this tribute to avant-garde aesthetics and enduring style. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage with the collection in an environment that celebrates both artistic heritage and cutting-edge design.
More than just a showcase of furniture, the event invites design enthusiasts to reconnect with the spirit of the 70s and 80s, appreciating the lasting impact of their aesthetic and conceptual breakthroughs. By merging past influences with contemporary reinterpretation, Ligne Roset’s Kashima revival exemplifies the enduring power of design to transcend time and trends.
