Roche Mid-Century Modern Armchair

Roche is a well recognized modernist icon 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 armchair 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 & buttery Full 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 won't 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 versus 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.

ABOUT FULL GRAIN ANILINE LEATHER

No paints or polymers. Straight from Vicenza, Italy, made from European cowhide. Our full-grain leather is known for its natural color variation, wrinkles, creases, and soft buttery feel. Full-grain leather has grains and markings that are as unique as individual fingerprints. Without topical colors and sealers, the leather touches, expands, contracts, and breathes naturally. Through age and use, a patina develops, which gives the furniture that comforting and vintage look.
