Artful Giving: Roche Bobois’ Sculptural, Colour-Driven Gifts for a Meaningful Season

This season, the most meaningful gifts aren’t hurried or predictable; they’re pieces with presence. Objects that transform a room, shift a mood, or bring a touch of poetry into the everyday. At Roche Bobois, the art of giving finds its stride in a collection that blends craftsmanship, colour, and sculptural imagination. Think of it as a curated moodboard for the design-obsessed: joyful, expressive, and quietly extraordinary.

At the heart of this selection is Cromática, Pedro Almodóvar’s vibrant collaboration with Roche Bobois. The cushion, like the filmmaker’s iconic cinematic world, is a small burst of chromatic storytelling – reds that feel like passion, blues that linger with depth, colours that tilt just so into memory. The rug carries that same narrative at a grander scale, hand-tufted in 100% New Zealand wool and bordered along the curve of its floral motif. Each piece feels alive with Almodóvar’s unmistakable language, where settings become characters and colour conveys emotion long before words ever do.

For those drawn to sculptural allure, Vanessa Mitrani’s vases make gifting feel like offering a work of art. The Nefertiti vase – blown glass shaped with bronze, abalone, and crystal – has the quiet confidence of an heirloom, as if it has lived several lives before arriving in your home. No Limit, playful and unexpected, combines hand-blown glass with an enamelled porcelain fish that seems to swim through its curves. Both pieces capture Mitrani’s signature: forms that are expressive, tactile, and entirely their own.

Then there is the Auravibe mirror by Sara Ricciardi, a piece that feels like a beam of light distilled into object form. Ricciardi’s holistic approach turns every hue, from bright yellow to electric blue, into a kind of emotional charge. Her designs aren’t just mirrors or vases or rugs; they are colourful talismans, joyful markers of energy meant to awaken both space and spirit. Auravibe carries that intention beautifully, casting a subtle radiance that goes beyond reflection.

And because no festive season is complete without a touch of whimsy, Fabrice Berrux’s Confettis floor lamp brings a celebratory lift to any interior. Five coloured tempered-glass discs orbit a slim luminous pole, like a cascade of bright fragments caught mid-dance. Inspired by the playful lightness of cotillions, it glows with a sense of shared memory – moments of laughter, gatherings, and the promise of festivities still to come.

Together, these pieces form a collection of gifts that feel personal and generous, each one shaped by the vision of the designer behind it. They brighten rooms, spark conversations, and linger long after the season has passed. In a year that calls for thoughtful giving, Roche Bobois offers gifts that are more than beautiful objects; they are gestures of art, emotion, and enduring style.
