A collaboration between Ligne Roset and Origine

Ligne Roset, a French publisher-manufacturer-distributor of contemporary furniture, and Origine, a French brand specializing in high-performance bicycles, have combined their expertise to offer a limited edition of the Fraxion GTR road bike. This project brings together the worlds of design and cycling through an object that combines technicality, innovation, and aesthetics.

The idea for this collaboration was born during a photoshoot organized by Ligne Roset for the launch of the Kashima sofa. Held at the home of Yves Amiel, co-founder of Origine, this event highlighted affinities between the two companies. Yves Amiel and Rémi Lefèvre, both passionate about design and architecture, spoke with Antoine and Olivier Roset, general managers of Ligne Roset. From these discussions emerged a common project aimed at promoting French savoir-faire, quality, and personalization, while appealing to a community of enthusiasts.

The Fraxion GTR, a flagship model in Origine’s road range, is a bike designed for speed and precision. Its monocoque carbon frame integrates UML (Ultra-Light Molding) technology and is based on the Dynamic Response principle for optimal responsiveness. Its aerodynamic geometry, inspired by competition, includes fully integrated cables, a discreet seatpost, and a profiled cockpit, offering a balance between efficiency and comfort.

In this special edition, Ligne Roset adds its distinctive touch with ten Pantone shades applied to the frames, wheels, and seatposts. The work on the leather sheathing, the coverings, as well as the stitching on the handlebar tapes and saddles, reflects a particular attention to detail, blending functionality and aesthetics.

This first limited series includes ten bikes, which will be exhibited and sold in selected Ligne Roset stores worldwide, notably in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Shanghai, and Dubai. Furthermore, a broader special series is in preparation for future integration into Origine’s catalog. This will be available on Origine’s website and in certain Ligne Roset showrooms in France and internationally.

According to Olivier and Antoine Roset, general managers of Ligne Roset, this partnership is based on a human encounter and a shared vision of innovation and French manufacturing. Yves Amiel and Rémi Lefèvre, co-founders of Origine, for their part, emphasize the alliance between artisanal excellence and refined design, embodied by this collaboration.
