Ruché 1-Armed Settee

Product Description

The Ruché 1-Armed Settee from Vintara Design is a replica of the iconic Ruché Settee designed by Inga Sempé for Ligne Roset in 2010. This piece blends traditional craftsmanship with modern design, offering a harmonious balance of form and function:

• Design: The Ruché 1-Armed Settee features a solid wood structure with tall, slender uprights and a quilted cover, creating a striking contrast between rigorous straight lines and soft, welcoming curves. The name "Ruché" refers to a sewing technique where fabric is gathered or pleated, a decorative element traditionally used in clothing, which is at the heart of this design’s savoir-faire. The settee includes an integral table surface on the armless side, made of matching beech-veneered MDF, adding practicality for small spaces [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 3].
• Materials:
  • Frame and Feet: Constructed from solid wood (typically beech), reinforced by two steel frames on the seat and back for added stability. The feet are available in three finishes: natural matt varnished beech, or beech stained anthracite or red, and come with protective gliders [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2].
  • Upholstery: Quilted with 300g/m² polyester quilting and ultra-flexible polyurethane foam (30 kg/m³ - 1.8 kPa). The cover is fully removable and can be upholstered in most plain fabrics, such as velours, wools, thick cloths, microfibres, or leathers [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 3].
  • Comfort: Features Pullmaflex suspension on the seat, a sprung steel grille for the back, and elastic-webbed suspension on the arm. The seat cushion uses high-resilience polyurethane Bultex foam (42 kg/m³ - 4.8 kPa and 38 kg/m³ - 3.6 kPa), the back cushion uses polyurethane foam (30 kg/m³ - 1.8 kPa), and the armrest is made with Bultex foam (26 kg/m³ - 1.4 kPa) [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2].
• Customization: Vintara Design offers customization options, allowing you to choose from various upholstery materials and colors to suit your decor preferences [Web ID: 1].
• Versatility: Designed for compactness, this settee is ideal for small apartments, with a depth of only 92 cm and a length that aligns with the Ruché collection’s range of 170 to 200 cm. Its seat height of 45 cm appeals to those who prefer higher seating [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 3]. The Ruché 1-Armed Settee combines elegance and practicality, making it a perfect addition to modern living rooms, cozy lofts, or stylish lounges, where its unique design and comfort can shine [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2].

Product Care Instructions

The Vintara Design page does not provide specific care instructions for this replica, but based on the materials described (solid wood frame, polyurethane Bultex foam, and fabric/leather upholstery) and care guidelines for the original Ruché Settee by Ligne Roset, the following applies:

• Fabric/Leather Upholstery:
  • Cleaning: Since the covers are fully removable, they can be professionally cleaned. For fabric, gently vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Spot-clean spills with a damp cloth and mild soap, blotting carefully to avoid damaging the texture. For leather, wipe with a soft, dry cloth; use a leather-specific cleaner for stains, following the product’s instructions [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 3].
  • Maintenance: Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading or drying, as both fabric and leather can be sensitive to UV exposure. For leather, apply a conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain suppleness. Test cleaners on a hidden area first to ensure compatibility.
• Polyurethane Bultex Foam Padding:
  • Cleaning: Spot-clean spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent absorption. Avoid soaking, as foam can retain moisture and degrade.
  • Maintenance: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mustiness. Fluff the padding occasionally to maintain shape.
• Solid Wood Frame and Feet:
  • Cleaning: Dust with a dry cloth or clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, drying immediately to avoid moisture damage.
  • Maintenance: Apply wood polish or wax every few months to maintain the finish and protect the natural grain. Avoid humid environments to prevent warping.
• General Tips:
  • Place the settee on a flat, stable surface to avoid structural stress.
  • Use a fabric or leather protector spray to enhance stain resistance, testing first on a hidden area.
  • Dust regularly to prevent dirt accumulation.
