confluences
Confluences is a seating collection by a young designer named Phillipe Nigro. Michel Roset, the fourth generation leading the company, has a real knack for discovering new talent, nourishing their craft and putting them on the international map. This is how it worked with the Bouroullec brothers, who conceived the acclaimed Facett collection, and now it looks like Nigro might be next in line with the debut of his Confluences.
Ligne Roset first introduced the prototype for Confluences at Art Basel Miami in December 2008; now we see the entire collection, pieces of several sizes, conceived with the idea that each seat has a different depth so as to be comfortable for short and tall alike. The look is precise and asymmetrical, playful and with a distinct youthfulness.
