When spring arrives quietly, everything comes back to life and design inspiration blooms. This season, Roche Bobois captures the lightness and colour of spring from a new perspective, infusing this vitality into its iconic furniture pieces. This season, Roche Bobois focuses on the classic Mah Jong sofa and the dreamy Bubble sofa, and collaborates with Japanese designer Kenzo Takada to add the natural breath and vitality of spring, with new colors and detailed designs, inviting people to be in a spring world full of warmth and hope.
Kenzo Takada: Creator of Spring Poetry
Kenzo Takada is an artist who tells stories through design. His works are always like a moving poem, capturing the essence of seasons and nature. Takada was born in Japan and rose to prominence in the design world of Paris. His creative style combines Eastern elegance with Western vitality, and he demonstrates a deep understanding of nature and culture in both fashion and home design.
In this season's collaboration with Roche Bobois, Takada created a series of works full of vitality and artistic sense, inspired by spring. For example, his Hizashi carpet, inspired by the radiance of the sun, represents the vitality and hope of spring. The Itoman and Motobu pillows feature delicate embroidery patterns depicting flowers and plants swaying in the spring breeze. These works are like a miniature of spring, bringing both visual and emotional enjoyment.
A spring rebirth for classic furniture
The Mah Jong sofa, designed by Hans Hopfer, has always been known for its flexible modular design, and this classic piece has been given a fresh spring feel. This season's new fabric design in collaboration with Kenzo Takada is inspired by chrysanthemums and features gorgeous textures of jacquard craftsmanship and burnt velvet. The chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and prosperity in Japan, and these symbols come alive in the spring light. The fabric of each module is like a spring garden, making people feel as if they are in a scene full of blooming flowers.
The Bubble sofa, with its rounded streamlined design and light shape, echoes the softness and freedom of spring. The sofa base adopts a colorful paint design that is full of spring, like the morning light shining on the grass, full of vitality and vigor. These furniture are not only functional designs, but also an artistic presentation of the natural scenery of spring, injecting a soft and warm atmosphere into the home space.
Dialogue between design and spring: the fusion of tenderness and vitality
The collaboration between Roche Bobois and Kenzo Takada is not only a combination of design and functionality, but also a dialogue between art and spring. These works convey the breath of spring, and every detail shows the pulse of life. For example, the Yume and Fushigi ceramic jars perfectly capture the tranquility and freshness of spring with their soft curves and refreshing colors. The pattern of the Hizashi carpet is reminiscent of the mottled light and shadow in spring, bringing infinite dynamics to the space. The soft glow of the Fleur de Coton lamps adds a warmth to the interior like the morning light of spring. The overall design uses soft tones and delicate materials to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere for the room.
Roche Bobois's works this season are a poetic feast of spring, making design an art in life. When the chrysanthemum fabric of the Mah Jong sofa meets the Hizashi carpet, the space is filled with the breath of spring; when the Itoman pillow and the Yume ceramic jar decorate the room together, daily life is infused with the vitality and joy of spring.
