Bonnie
Ligne Roset was able to work on the reissue of the Bonnie seating using a real collector’s item, one of only a few very rare examples in existence (modèles 500 and 500/2 – design 1975). From the outset, the Bonnie seating was striking in terms of its comfort, both visual and real, hugging the lines of the human body fiercely. The Bonnie seating is at once extremely comfortable and also clever, without being too clever.
