With its generous proportions and sculptural silhouette, the Pumpkin large sofa designed by Pierre Paulin for Ligne Roset embodies the bold and innovative spirit that defined the designer’s work from the late 1950s onwards. Originally created in 1971 for the private apartments of French president Georges Pompidou at the Élysée Palace, the Pumpkin has since become one of the most iconic seating designs of its era.

Inspired by the soft, generous shape of a pumpkin, the sofa features smooth, enveloping curves that create a welcoming and comfortable seating experience. Its fully upholstered structure conceals the internal frame, allowing the design to appear as a single sculptural volume. The result is a piece that combines exceptional comfort with a strong visual identity.

In this large sofa version, the Pumpkin fully expresses its convivial character. Its wide seating area comfortably accommodates several people while preserving the rounded and inviting aesthetic that defines the collection. The sofa naturally becomes the focal point of a contemporary living room, bringing warmth, elegance and personality to the space.

The Pumpkin collection also includes an armchair, a swivel armchair and a small sofa, allowing harmonious compositions within a living space while maintaining a consistent design language.

Available in a wide selection of fabrics and leathers, the Pumpkin sofa can be customised to suit different interior styles, from refined contemporary spaces to warmer, more eclectic interiors. For the choice of upholstery, please consult the list of available fabrics and leathers.

Available at Sisu, official Ligne Roset retailer in Brussels.
