Ligne Roset Puts Pierre Guariche’s Midcentury Designs on Display

Ligne Roset’s exhibition of Pierre Guariche’s midcentury furniture designs will be on view at its West Hollywood showroom through December. It is a treasure trove of modernist pieces newly reproduced by the brand, which recently acquired the designer’s archive. “Pierre’s work hasn’t received the recognition it deserves,” says Simone Vingerhoets-Ziesmann, executive vice president of Ligne Roset in the Americas. “With 18 pieces—and counting—brought back to life, it’s an honor to share his prolific archive as we work to revive it.” The exhibition demonstrates how comfortably the designs, most of which were created in the 1950s and 1960s, suit today’s lifestyle. Classic pieces on view include the Tonneau chair, the first mass-produced plywood seat in France; the sinuous Vallée Blanche chaise, designed as part of Guariche’s work for a ski resort in the French Alps; and the G10 Sofa, with its signature wood-arm design.
