Roche 63" Leather Sofa, Black

Roche Mid Century Modern Sofa Loveseat

Roche is a well recognized modernist icon originally designed in 1928 for the Maison La Roche house in Paris. Roche, like the original design was revolutionary in its making as it was not built over a wooden frame. The entire loveseat is built around the cushions with a metal exoskeleton and base network "spring webbing". Remarkably comfortable, Roche was appropriately dubbed “cushion baskets.”

Making the Icon

Kardiel offers the highest quality reproduction of this series on the market. We specialize and understand fully the intricacies of the original design. From the supple Top Grain Aniline Leather to the plump generously filled and wrapped cushions, our full list of features means you don’t have to settle for an inferior reproduction. You wont find a solid wood frame as the original was not built with one. The cushions are meant to take on a somewhat plump stuffed appearance verses a hard square cubed look. The base below the cushions features a web spring platform for added comfort. The details in scale are important with all reproduction pieces and Roche is no exception. Compare this reproduction anywhere for its highest standard of exacting detail. You may find the accuracy of this reproduction second to none.

Attention to detail matters when faithfully reproducing an original icon. Like the original, as the tubular steel wraps from the arm to the back it is bent with heat to form the round curve. This is in contrast to reproductions that weld two pieces of steel at more of a 45 degree angle to form the curve.

Genuine Top Grain Aniline Leather

A great option for those wanting soft unprocessed genuine leather. Top grain is known for its soft supple touch. We finish our soft aniline leathers with natural oils and waxes

not paints and polymers. This dyeing method displays the natural grain of the leather. A layer of protective wax is applied to the surface of Semi Aniline Top Grain leather just before the dyeing process. This wax treatment provides a more consistent color tone and seals the surface. In the event of an accident, you get an extra couple minutes to clean up spills.

This series is upholstered in premium Top Grain Aniline European leather. This is a significant upgrade in leather options. Top Grain is the actual surface of the cowhide. While no one knows the actual number, a small percentage of furniture sold today is upholstered in Premium Top Grain Aniline leather. Some claim as low as 5%. Aniline dying describes one of the two processes in which color is applied to the leather with the dye penetrating the leather and extending beyond the surface, into the leather itself. For modern furniture requiring a clean aesthetic, Top Grain Aniline Leather is both “liquid vat” (deep penetrating) and surface dyed to achieve the main color selection and to conceal uneven tones and blemishes in the hide. Top grain aniline is the softest leather and naturally breaths well. Because Top Grain refers to the actual surface of the animal hide it presents a natural leather appearance you would expect. While it is true that raw Top Grain Aniline absorbs spills easier, furniture grade Top Grain leather features a stain resistant treatment making it exceptional for everyday lower maintenance use. Although rare, nothing wears, looks or feels better than premium Aniline Top Grain leather. Over time it patinas and becomes more comfortable versus wearing out.

“Split Grain” is the most common leather used on furniture. This reproduction has been upgraded to Top Aniline leather and does not use Split Grain leather. Nonetheless, this paragraph will help explain the difference in quality and price between the leather types. Split Grain is the underside of the hide that has been separated from the surface or “top” of the hide. While defined as actual leather, Split Grain leather does not have the natural surface grain of the top of the cowhide. A topical layer of insoluble pigment is applied to the surface of split grain leather, which is then stamped or “grain embossed” to imitate the surface appearance of actual leather. This topical layer contains the color that the leather will be.
