Ligne Roset, synonymous with modern luxury, is known for their artful collaborations with established and up-and-coming talents in contemporary design. The Ligne Roset Boston store located at 200 Boylston Street in Back Bay offers a beautiful array of styles like the ultra soft Ploum that offers different ways of sitting, stretching out, or even lying down, Ottoman armchair and popular contemporary solid wood Eaton dining table designed by Aïssa Logerot, finished in walnut, oak, or cherry.
We caught up recently with store owner Francoise Theise to find out what she loves most about Boston.
