Called Entailles, the sofas can be arranged in different configurations to make a one, two or three-seater platform.

Tables slot into gaps between the seats.

Here's a bit of text from Ligne Roset:
ENTAILLES
"Viewing everyday life through the prism of objects which are surprising, yet sensible."

To use the exact words of Philippe Nigro, these divans are ‘quasi-articulated’ by means of ‘functional notches’ which can accommodate small pedestal tables (for reading, writing, working, drinking, eating...).
These simple details confer on the divans a whole new aesthetic totally at odds with conventional images, whilst making it possible to obtain different seat depths and back heights. In order to fully respond to the original idea, it is possible to have the notches in a different colour and/or fabric. The end result is a ‘living’ divan, which seems to be in constant movement.
