'Ruché' bed

Inga Sempé / Ligne Roset

Price on request

The younger, and equally covetable sibling to the Ruché sofa - one of the designs that saw Sempé nominated for our Furniture Designer of the Year award - this bed has a slender but solid beechwood frame, with a quilted base and headboard. Its clean, modern form and soft curves belie the complexity of the stitching involved - the subject of 'much research and many trials, at the outset on my little sewing machine, then in the proptyping shop in Briord, then on the seamstresses' profession-grade machines, and finally tested on the programmed sewing robot.' says Sempé. Take heed: sloppy bed making will spoil the look.
