The Kashima sofa, designed by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset in the 1980s, is a definitive example of European modernist design from this era. Its construction features a 235 cm wide silhouette with a low profile (70 cm high) and an organic, softly contoured outline. The surface, upholstered in natural white leather with a warm undertone, is divided by even stitching that creates a grid of rectangular panels, each centrally tufted for a distinctive quilted effect. Visible seams and a matte leather texture establish a bold, geometric rhythm, while integrated armrests and gently rounded edges enhance the overall sense of softness and inviting comfort. The sofa has undergone complete upholstery restoration and is preserved in excellent condition, showing no visible wear or discoloration.
Within this sofa echoes the voice of a decade that redefined the vocabulary of modern interiors—the 1980s, when soft, sculptural forms and modular freedom took precedence over the formality of previous eras. The piece seems to speak in a whisper of retrofuturistic inspiration: the geometric division of its surface evokes the pragmatism of designers who valued both comfort and expressive form. The shade of white leather welcomes light, while the gentle grain and rounded silhouette recall a time when design was meant to both surprise visually and serve daily relaxation.
Kashima can function as a central anchor in a spacious living room, where its calm whiteness may contrast with a darker rug and accents of natural wood or glass. It could be paired with a minimalist coffee table and sculptural lighting—a floor lamp in chrome or black metal would highlight its modernist pedigree. In the company of matte textiles or graphic, geometric throw pillows, the sofa will retain its original character, while a soft faux fur or curtain in shades of ash may accentuate its nostalgic 1980s aesthetic.
