Rottet's interest in furniture design stemmed from a sofa she designed for her personal Los Angeles residence in 1991, entitled the Evaneau sofa. She has since designed custom furniture for many of Rottet Studio's projects. She designed most of the furniture for Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker's Los Angeles offices. In November 2013, Rottet released a 33-piece furniture collection in collaboration with Decca Home.{{cite web|url=http://www.furnituretoday.com/article/438235-newly-formed-decca-home-taps-rob-casey-as-president|title=Newly formed Decca Home taps Rob Casey as president|author=Thomas Russell|work=Furniture Today|date=18 October 2013|access-date=1 June 2014}}
