Simone Vingerhoets
Executive Vice President
Ligne Roset


Simone Vingerhoets joined Ligne Roset as the head of its North and South America region in September 2017. Her remarkable repertoire in the contract and hospitality industries undoubtedly makes her the perfect choice to lead Roset USA Corp. and grow its offerings in these sectors. Vingerhoets previously held the position of North American CEO at Wilkhahn, the premium office and conferencing furniture brand, driving this region of the company to its highest revenue since inception. Prior to this, Vingerhoets served as the Executive Vice President of Finnish furniture brand Artek, founded by Alvar Aalto and held leadership positions at other esteemed design brands including Alessi and Chilewich. Ligne Roset holds a unique share of the market with strong regional brick and mortar, ecommerce, and custom contract capabilities. Vingerhoets’ vast experience in these specific design sectors will help her lead Roset USA Corp. in an effective and growth-oriented manner. Simone Vingerhoets says: “It is my honor to join the high-end, creative brand Ligne Roset. In today’s contract world office spaces have changed to feel more residential in order to increase employee satisfaction, retention and productivity. Moreover, with our custom capabilities, we can be extremely competitively priced in the hospitality environment without sacrificing product quality. I am looking forward to increasing these opportunities in the Americas.” Passionate about design, Vingerhoets has been a founding member in her role at Artek of BeOriginal Americas, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting intellectual property and counteracting design piracy while investing in design’s future, and continues her membership through Ligne Roset, another of the group’s founding members.
