Ligne Roset announced last week that Simone Vingerhoets has been named Executive Vice President of Roset USA Corporation, leading the brand in the Americas.
In the role, Vingerhoets will oversee the North and South American markets for the brand. She replaces Antoine Roset, great-great-grandson of Ligne Roset’s founder, as he returns to the global headquarters in France.
“As an ambitious leader in the architecture and design world, Simone Vingerhoets is poised to successfully take Ligne Roset to the next level in the Americas,” said Antoine Roset. “Her passion and knowledge give me complete confidence as I hand over the reins in order to grow the company. I know our current network and A&D contacts will work well with Simone moving forward and can’t wait to see what they create together.”
Vingerhoets has a background in the contract and hospitality industries. She was previously the North American CEO at Wilkhahn, the office and conferencing furniture brand. Prior to this, she was Executive Vice President at Finnish furniture brand Artek.
“It is my honor to join such a high-end, creative brand as Ligne Roset,” Vingerhoets said. “In today’s contract world, office spaces have changed to feel more residential in order to increase employee satisfaction, retention and output. Moreover, with our custom capabilities, we can be extremely competitive in the hospitality environments to offer products without sacrificing quality and I am looking forward to increasing these opportunities in the Americas.”
