«We see the world changing before others. It’s a matter of mentality.» This is the clear and peremptory self-analysis of the creative process that has led Ligne Roset to be, over time, a precursor of aesthetic and social trends. An attitude that has remained alive, now reminded to us by the re-edition of a piece of furniture that, released on the market in the 1970s, shattered all the formal references of the time to be projected into immortality. When it was marketed by Ligne Roset, the Sandra sofa embodied a true revolution, not only in the forms and materials used, but in the very use of the furniture, anticipating new living dynamics that are more relevant than ever. A leap through time made with the complicity of Annie Hiéronimus, a designer who immediately entered the company’s good graces for her innovative style and the same inclination to experimentation.
Thus, a sofa never seen before was born, with sinuous, soft and enveloping shapes, despite eliminating the canonical armrests, incorporating them into the structure. True to itself, Sandra is reinterpreted in a contemporary key, integrating the technological advances of the last 50 years. The assembly of polyurethane foams of different densities to form the entire structure, and the use of high-resilience Bultex polyurethane foam to mold to the body ergonomically, offer exceptional flexibility. Especially when combined with its pouf, that extraordinary softness is more perceptible thanks to the included lumbar support, which ensures ideal support for the most relaxed posture, for lasting well-being. The iconic quilting of the upholstery, with the thick ribbed details that enhance the soft curves of the silhouette, continues to connote it.
Each single-point seam is the result of artisanal savoir-faire and attention to detail in the finishes, which make Sandra a sophisticated piece in all its versions: large and medium sofa, armchair and pouf. The company proudly states: «To all those who ask us where we will be in fifty years, we answer: look at Sandra. It is of today. And it is already in the future».
