French furniture manufacturer Ligne Roset Contract has introduced the Re-Edition of the celebrated Pierre Guariche pieces that were initially designed at the dawn of the 1960s…
The Re-Edition brings together history and modernity and captures the mid-20th-century aesthetic and ingenuity that defined Guariche’s work. The collection is a tribute by Ligne Roset to the designer’s pioneering approach to furniture and lighting design, reflecting his legacy as a key figure in modernist design.
The precise attention to detail, the use of high-quality materials, and the preservation of original design principles demonstrates a respect for the legacy while enabling these iconic pieces to find a place in contemporary settings.

One of the most emblematic designs is the Vallée Blanche Chaise longue which was designed in 1963 and is characterised by a minimalistic and elegant style. The seamless fabric cover gives the chaise longue a sleek and streamlined look, avoiding any visible seams or interruptions in the fabric’s flow whereas the chromed metal feet provide a touch of modernity and a reflective quality that complements the smooth fabric cover.

Another iconic seating option is the Jupiter swivelling armchair which was originally designed in 1966 and features a rotating base in black satin epoxy lacquered steel. This provides a smooth and stable swivel motion, allowing for easy turning and flexibility in seating arrangements. The chair is upholstered in Soft Touch leather, which gives it a luxurious feel while being durable and easy to maintain. Additionally, it can be customised with fabric upholstery for a different look and texture.

The G10 Armchair and Couch, notable pieces from this collection and designed in 1953, exhibit a strong yet elegant structure, blending plywood panels, moulded beech plywood armrests with stained ash veneer, polyurethane foam, and polyester quilting. These elements create a timeless look that balances comfort with style.
