Roche Bobois: Celebrating French art de vivre
Celtia Bookcase
Celebrating French art de vivre around the globe, Roche Bobois is undoubtedly a world leader in furniture design, creating exciting on-trend, boundary-pushing pieces.
Here, the company shares 2025’s biggest interior design trends – and the furniture pieces that perfectly capture it.
Earthy hues
Following the unveiling of Mocha Mousse as Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025, earthy, natural hues are all the rage.
Try: Celtia Bookcase
A blend of 1950s influences and Asian inspiration, Sacha Lakic’s Celta bookcase features a walnut structure whose softened, graphic lines sculpt space with lightness. It plays with the contrasts of the wall, and its tapered shelves are enlivened by oblique book supports.
Textured and mixed materials,
Closely following the colour trend, natural materials will be big in 2025. So, too, are textured materials and pieces showcasing a mix of materials.
Try: Calligraphie Desk
Like a sheet of wood folded and bent upon itself on all four sides, Calligraphie is a soft and organic origami-like structure gently resting on its slender legs. Nestled in the black crevices of its large nut-like shape are two pencil holders, one at the front and the other on the right.
Try: Agape Desk
Designed by Sacha Lakic, “The Disappearance” would be an apt name for this desk. At the one end, the transparent top sits on a magnificent base of thick, curved glass, while the other end is supported by a three-drawer, reversible storage unit. Two polished aluminium crossbars tie the two bases together.
New modernists
Emphasising volume and asymmetrical compositions, expect to see plenty of new modernist designs in homes this year, adding a softer edge to interiors.
Try: Sense Sofa
Designed by Roche Bobois, the Sense sofa is an enveloping seating solution in an atypical format. The curves of these sofas allow for different seating depths. At the ends, the backrest creates an alcove for snuggling up or, on the contrary, for stretching out to one’s full length.
Try: Strophe Armchair
Designed by Sacha Lakic, the Strophe Armchair has all the hallmarks of a treasured classic. Remarkable for the finesse and singular design of its burnt-wood frame with an almost black finish, the precisely sculpted and polished armrests offer voluptuous support. Dressed in a fabric from Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest collection, this club chair takes sophisticated modernity to a whole new level.
Strophe Armchair
Heritage, reinvented
Moving away from minimalism, 2025 sees a reinvention of heritage, with old-style tapestry and pieces inspired by vintage designs taking centre stage.
Try: Lagune Modular Sofa
Designed by Philippe Bouix, the Lagune modular sofa offers multiple seating elements. It features an easy-to-handle lift-up back mechanism. This composition, with its enveloping, subtly padded seat, can be complemented by a floating side table.
A global leader in furniture design and distribution, Roche Bobois is celebrated for its innovative collaborations with renowned designers and artists such as Marcel Wanders, Kenzo Takada, Ora Ito, Sacha Lakic, Christophe Delcourt, Stephen Burks, and Joana Vasconcelos, as well as partnerships with prestigious haute fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier and Missoni.
Offering an extensive selection of exclusive, made-to-order designs, Roche Bobois combines exceptional craftsmanship with a high degree of customisation, producing each piece in small European workshops.
Their full range of premium furniture includes sofas, armchairs, cocktail tables, dining chairs, sideboards, beds, wardrobes, and storage solutions, as well as accessories like lighting, cushions, and rugs.
