Moel
With the exception of its all-enveloping back, Moël draws heavily on Ligne Roset’s longstanding expertise in the field of all-foam models. With its generous comfort underlined by its soft, rounded shape, Moël will appeal most to lovers of an informal, relaxed lifestyle, who want to welcome their friends in the most convivial way possible. Not forgetting, of course, that Moël does not look like any other seat in existence.

MAKING-UP
Back and seat covers quilted with bands of 300
g/m2 polyester quilting, giving a strikingly
structured visual effect. Covers of footstool
quilted with 200 g/m2 polyester quilting. Rear of
back is in the shape of the corolla of a flower,
and is held in place by metallic zips: this can be
made up in Kyoto or Oregon hides or Divina or
Coda fabrics. Covers are held in place by velcro
and zips, and are fully removable.
FABRICS
'Inside' covers are ordered independently of the
exterior 'corolla', thus making bicolour (or bimaterial)
interpretations a possibility. Footstools
can also be bicolour: Inga Sempé recommends
using the same covering material on the sides of
the footstool and the corolla of the armchair or
settee, and a different one for the front, back
and top of the footstool and the 'inside' covers
of the armchair or settee.
