Available in a range of shapes, styles and sizes, the Bubble collection offers a lineup of furniture pieces that will stand out in any space. We go behind the eye-popping history of this playful design piece. 

If you want something to sit on, you get a chair. But if you want your interior spaces to pop with novel design choices, then you’re unlikely to do better than the Bubble collection from French designer Sacha Lakic. 

This futuristic, eye-catching sofa series represents just one piece in a legacy of artistic output from a creative who has put his mind to everything from motorcycles to interior architecture. First unveiled in 2014, the Bubble sofa has defied furniture design for over a decade, serving as a centrepiece item for those who want their interior spaces to be anything but conventional. 

Bold yet playful design to lend any interior a vibrant sense of fun

Known for a timeless aesthetic, informed by fluid aerodynamics and elegant lines, Lakic is a trailblazing designer who elevates every medium in which he operates. From automotive to interior design, a strong balance of formal integrity and emotive shapes has been at the heart of the designer’s creative philosophy for decades.

Inspired by natural and mineral forms, yet constructed with a cutting-edge honeycomb-polyester Techno 4D fabric, the Bubble represents the harmony of technology and design that is evident across Lakic’s entire product portfolio. 

Where artisanal craftsmanship meets next-gen design

Available in a diverse selection of styles and shapes, the Bubble for Roche Bobois is as striking in its appearance as it is in defying the conventions of furniture shape and form. Like all great design, it has continued to evolve over time with the innovation of diverse upholstery materials that have developed from the Bubble’s inception. 

A diverse range of shades and shapes ensure the Bubble collection makes a statement in any space

To fit the distinct, rounded form of the Bubble sofa, a unique fabric was created specifically by Roche Bobois, which eliminated the need for stitching, creating a seamless and captivating silhouette unmatched in the industry. Ranging from Techno 2D to Techno 4D, these patented polyester surfaces are available in a wide range of special shades and hues. 

Available as either a fixed or swivel armchair, or a glamorous Ottoman statement piece in a variety of sizes, the Bubble collection has undergone many changes in its mould-breaking lifecycle. No matter the shape or size, all variants are fitted with a versatile Orsetto Flex fabric that ensures maximum comfort, while also remaining safe against wear and sagging. 

A furniture statement in any space

Celebrated designer Sacha Lakic

With a celebrated background in cross-disciplinary commercial and industrial design, Lakic’s work on the revolutionary Bubble collection is just as heralded. In the 2015 Design Awards, the Bubble took home the coveted Gold Award in the hotly contested ‘Product’ category. 

The designer has not rested on his laurels and has continued to innovate and evolve in the years since this win. With its playful, rounded shape, the Bubble can make a statement in your home as either a Bed, Bubble Curve or Bubble Mini foot rest. 

In equal measure functional and fabulous, Lakic’s iconic Bubble collection remains a highlight of the Roche Bobois catalogue.
