Philippe Nigro: Cosse

Philippe Nigro designed for Ligne Roset a settee, presented at Imm Cologne, characterized by softly welcoming contours, and a delicate all-enveloping form which, sustained by a fine natural wood structure, floats above the ground.

Comfort, therefore, was the inspiration for the Cosse settee, along with the capacity to integrate the required technology with the optimization of materials in a way which preserves lightness, perhaps through the use of minimally thick materials and discreet framework which will fade into the background for the benefit of the simplest and lightest possible forms.

Mastery of the constraints of series production, hand in hand with optimized technology and materials, work together to produce freely-flowing shapes such as that of the Cosse settee. Softly welcoming contours, a soft, delicate all-enveloping form which, sustained by a fine natural wood structure, floats above the ground. The remarkable comfort of the seat, achieved thanks to its elastic-webbed suspension, contributes to this feeling of comfort and lightness.
