A Furniture Icon – the Bubble by Roche Bobois

The Bubble Sofa was imagined as a statement piece that blurred the line between functional seating and sculptural object. Lakic, whose background includes automotive design, drew inspiration from fluid, aerodynamic forms, translating movement and energy into a sofa that feels dynamic from every angle. The Bubble commands attention without relying on sharp lines or traditional structure, and it is equally at home in minimalist spaces, expressive interiors and high-end residential projects.

What truly sets the Bubble Sofa apart is the innovation behind its construction. Entirely handcrafted in Europe, its production required the creation of a completely unique textile. Roche Bobois developed the exclusive Techno fabric specifically for the Bubble, allowing the material to stretch smoothly over its rounded silhouette without visible seams or breaks. This technical achievement is central to the sofa’s visual impact, giving it a seamless, inflated appearance that enhances both comfort and form.

Beyond its distinctive shape, the Bubble Sofa is designed to be lived in. Its enveloping curves offer a relaxed seating experience, while the deep cushioning encourages ‘lounging’ and everyday use. Available in a wide range of colours and fabric options, it can be tailored to suit everything from understated neutral palettes to more expressive interiors that celebrate colour and texture.

The design world was quick to recognise the Bubble’s impact, awarding it won the Gold Award in its Product category at the 2015 Design Awards. Today, it remains one of Roche Bobois’ most celebrated pieces – a global design icon that continues to appear in luxury homes, and design led  interiors around the world. Equal parts statement and comfort, the Bubble Sofa stands as a lasting example of how innovation, craftsmanship and bold design thinking can come together in a single, unforgettable statement  piece.
