TELEN By Ligne Roset
Designer: Christian Werner
Manufacture year: 2021
Type: 2 seater fabric sofa
Telen is a 2 seater fabric sofa. The zen garden (日本庭園, Nihon teien = Japanese garden) comes from ancient Japanese tradition. It is found just as often in private homes as it is in city parks and historic sites such as Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and castles. In Japan, garden landscaping is an important, respected art, sharing aesthetic codes with calligraphy and lavis (ink wash painting). The garden seeks to interpret and idealise nature by limiting contrivance. As in Japan, some of the best-known gardens in the West are dry or « zen » gardens, composed of rocks, mosses and gravel. This year Christian Werner has designed one of the most poetic settees ever created for Cinna. His very name is evocative of Japanese zen gardens, his design of stones piled up on a beach. All roundness, delicacy, femininity, this settee - which one could almost class as organic - has a sublimely decorative appearance. The 3 constituent parts of its design either come together or remain independent, enabling each individual to personalise and thus enhance their internal space. This settee, the structure of which is made from a slim panel and which rests on little invisible gliders, is almost entirely made from foams of various densities. The seat cushions, themselves rounded in shape, are made from two asymmetrical angles, giving a straight slope for a more formal sitting position, and a more rounded one for a more relaxed, lounge-style position.
