Natural Materials & Tactile Textures
The dialogue between interior design and nature becomes increasingly nuanced. Tactile surfaces, expressive materials, and thoughtfully layered textures create atmospheres of quiet elegance. The Radian and Waterline collections embody this sensibility through handcrafted ceramic finishes that echo the mineral beauty of natural elements.
The season also marks a milestone for Roche Bobois with the forthcoming introduction of its first-ever-all bamboo-inspired collection, an entirely new territory for the brand. Celebrated for its resilience and sustainable appeal. Bamboo is reimagined through a luxury lens, revealing warm tones and architectural precision. Together, these natural materials elevate summer living, bringing authenticity and refinement to contemporary interiors. A special outdoor collection featuring rattan weaving will be unveiled in the coming days.

Curved Forms & Sculptural Furniture
Soft geometry continues to shape modern interiors, with curved silhouettes serving as both aesthetic and emotional anchors. Sculptural forms introduce fluidity and movement, transforming spaces into expressive compositions. Generously contoured sofas such as Dream, designed by David Rockwell for Roche Bobois, exemplify this trend, combining and enveloping comfort with architectural presence. Upholstery in nuanced summer tones, creamy neutrals and warm mineral shades that enhances harmony and lightness. This sculptural language extends to accent pieces like the Yumi mirror by Messieurs and to new carpet collections such as Abysse-Stone and Nuvola, softening spatial lines while maintaining a strong, contemporary design identity.

“Modern Equestrian” & Refined Nostalgia
A refined sense of nostalgia defines Summer 2026, as heritage craftsmanship is reinterpreted through a contemporary design lens. Drawing on the expertise of one of its specialized factories, Roche Bobois brings this vision to life through pieces such as the Gulliver lamp, which embodies a modern equestrian spirit. Built on the dialogue between two pure forms, (the tube and the sphere) it balances functional lighting with atmospheric presence. The pairing of metal and glass paste adds depth, weight, and luminosity. This approach celebrates noble materials, tailored details, and timeless proportions, offering a vision of luxury that feels both familiar and forward-looking.
