LIGNE ROSET

An international life style brand

All these designers and products have been awarded by the most prestigious international Design awards.

Sifas will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2014, marking fifty years of the unique savoir-faire that has stamped the art of living in Côte d’Azur and is recognized around the world. These fifty years have witnessed the birth of outdoor furniture and its evolution over the decades, and have made Sifas a major player in the outdoor revolution.

Sifas presents its latest creations at the Shanghaï fair. The watchwords are innovation and ecodesign. Sifas adopted an eco-design approach in 2011 with the creation of its Ec-Inoks collection bearing the VIA label. On the heels of this success, Sifas is now looking to the future and extending this approach to all of its lines. Sifas is making sustainable development a tenet of its corporate culture.

Thought up and designed by Eric Carrère, Komfy is a collection that will enable you to create your own personalised lounge space. With only 5 structural parts, Komfy can be presented both as a straight settee or a classic arm-chair, as well as a lounge corner suite to which can be added, as desired and needed, a benchseat, a chaise-longue, méridienne... Kwadra, featuring more feminine, gentler lines to produce a purer moreelegant design, has an aluminium frame and self-supporting canvas inwhite Textylène®. We believe Kwadra to be stylish and comfortable ; and it now comes at an even more attractive price.
