Pedro Almodóvar x Roche Bobois

When the worlds of Pedro Almodóvar and Roche Bobois come together, the result is something extraordinary. This collaboration between the celebrated Spanish filmmaker and the iconic French design house celebrates a shared passion for storytelling through colour, form, and feeling. It is a meeting of two creative languages that find harmony in their love for bold expression and emotional depth.

At the heart of this partnership is the Lounge sofa, a classic design by Hans Hopfer that has been reissued especially for the occasion. In Almodóvar’s hands, this piece becomes much more than a sofa, it becomes a canvas. The upholstery is covered with images drawn from the filmmaker’s own movie posters, personally chosen and adapted by him. Each image recalls the vivid world he has built over decades of cinema, a world filled with strong characters, striking colours, and deep emotion.

This collaboration transforms a familiar design into something entirely new. The Lounge sofa becomes a work of art that bridges film and interior design, an object that tells a story even when no one is watching. Its curves and colours seem to capture the warmth, drama, and humanity that define Almodóvar’s films.

A limited edition of 50 numbered pieces, each personally signed by the filmmaker, will be produced. Thereafter, unsigned pieces will be available. Every sofa is unique, a collector’s piece that blends comfort with creative vision. It feels both personal and theatrical, intimate yet full of life, just like the moments Almodóvar captures on screen.

More than a partnership, this project feels like a conversation between two forms of art. It connects Spain and France, cinema and design, emotion and craftsmanship. Through this collaboration, Roche Bobois and Pedro Almodóvar invite us to see our living spaces not just as rooms, but as stories we can step into and make our own.
