In 2023 Ligne Roset is reissuing its emblematic Kashima model.
It is the «comfortable Chesterfield». Kashima designed by Michel Ducaroy offers classic customers the “English” comfort. The generous shapes of this model enable to give a reassuring image to an all-foam seat.
All-foam seating, Kashima hides, under its agreeable appearance, a soft comfort in rounded and curved lines (integrated armrests, lumbar, headrest). However, this comfort doesn’t jeopardise the quality of the high-density foams that compose it. Let’s remind that the density of a foam is the only guarantee of longevity. The denser the foam is, the longer the seat will last. The buttoning is then made using invisible tie rods, placed inside the foam.
The classicism of its shapes does not deprive Kashima of a touch of fantasy.
The fully quilted cover forms “pinched” seams at the corners, reinforced by interior laces. The nest shape of the seat allows the user to sit down, wedged on the sides.
The seat height of 38 cm makes this model a seat with normal seat height. The voluntarily thick back gives on the one hand a good support of the back and on the other hand guarantees the seat against any deformation.
Kashima is, of all the foam seats in the collection, the most technically elaborate.
It has 4 densities of foam, clad in a layer of polyester quilting for its frame.
The seat cover is itself quilted with a layer of polyester foam, this gives a double surface comfort.
The seat is thus formed of firm densities, but also of soft parts on the surface.
