Nestled in the heart of Lyon’s antique district is an exciting new design destination. Named simply L’Appartement, it features 6 sensory rooms, each of which explores what it’s like to come home to Ligne Roset. Naturally, we couldn’t resist a peek inside…
Upon entering, we were immediately struck by the intimacy of the space. Under the auspices of Marie Christine Dorner and colour guru Mériguet-Carrère, the lofty ceilings have been painted plum, establishing the lounge as a cosy and soulful meeting place.
In limiting the use of colour to the room’s upper echelons, Dorner draws all attention to the quilted Phileas sofas. Resplendent in a cream boucle knit, they provided a first look at Ligne Roset‘s soft furnishings — so luxurious we had to touch everything twice.
It’s a sensation that only deepens as you meander through the apartment. From the trendy Terazzo floors through to the velvet Confluences chairs, each finish has been selected to be savoured and stroked.
Dorner’s playful approach also seeks to reimagine how intermediate spaces are styled. In L’Appartement, hallways become a spot in which to linger and sit — an idea that we’ll definitely be taking home with us.
