MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2025: Roche Bobois Unveils An Unprecedented Collaboration with Pedro Almodovar & Rossy De Palma

Roche Bobois, the global leader in high end furniture and French Art de Vivre, proudly announces a groundbreaking collaboration that fuses the worlds of design and cinema. At Milan Design Week 2025, the brand unveils a creative partnership with world renowned Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, accompanied by a vibrant capsule collection by his long-time muse and acclaimed actress, Rossy de Palma.

A Dialog Between Design and Cinema

Known for his flamboyant visual universe, Pedro Almodóvar has captivated generations through his iconic films, where bold colors, evocative shapes and striking set designs are intrinsic to storytelling. These same qualities are celebrated in this unique collaboration with Roche Bobois who is passionate about the expressive power of colour and form.

The genesis of this creative union traces back to Almodóvar’s latest film, The Room Next Door – winner of the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival – which featured several Roche Bobois pieces. From this serendipitous connection emerged a shared vision to reimagine design through the lens of cinema.

A Three-Fold Creative Expression

A Tribute to Pedro Almodóvar’s Cinematic Universe The iconic Mah Jong lounge sofa designed by Hans Hopfer, is reissued in a limited edition of 50 signed and numbered pieces. Adorned with film posters and stills, it stands as a collector’s item at the intersection of cinema and design.
The Bubble in Technicolor Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Bubble sofa by Sacha Lakic is reimagined in four exclusive colourways handpicked by Almodóvar himself. These bold new shades reflect the director’s unmistakable palette, offering an homage to his vivid storytelling style.
A Capsule Collection by Rossy de Palma Known for her theatrical elegance and irrepressible creativity, Rossy de Palma brings her singular vision to life in an exclusive range of furniture and decorative accessories which are dynamic, daring and unmistakably her.

When Emotion Meets Design

“Furniture to me, is not just functional, it’s a bearer of emotion,” says Pedro Almodóvar. “The colors and patterns I’ve selected are full of joy and optimism. These pieces are designed to uplift, to inspire and to bring a sense of cinematic magic into everyday life.”

Éric Amourdedieu, Group Executive Director of Roche Bobois, adds:
“This collaboration is a celebration of emotion, colour and creative audacity. Pedro Almodóvar’s visionary approach has breathed new life into some of our most iconic pieces and Rossy de Palma’s capsule adds yet another exciting layer to this artistic encounter.”

A Crossroads of Culture and Creativity

More than a design collection, this collaboration exemplifies Roche Bobois mission to bridge disciplines and celebrate the rich connections between design, cinema and culture. It is also a testament to Almodóvar’s enduring bond with France – a country he holds dear for its cultural richness and deep appreciation of cinematic and artistic heritage.

Unveiled at Milan Design Week 2025, this extraordinary collaboration celebrates the vibrant fusion of cinema, design, and French Art de Vivre.
