ROCHE BOBOIS BUBBLE SOFA DESIGN BY SACHA LAKIC
ROCHE BOBOIS BUBBLE SOFA DESIGN BY SACHA LAKIC
This entirely handmade sofa brings to mind a puffy cloud,
and offers great comfort through its reassuring forms. The fabrication of the
BUBBLE sofa required the development of an innovative textile, Techno 3D. This
unique fabric is tenacious and extendable in three directions, which allows for
the well rounded and tight shapes. It is composed of a robust black jersey onto
which a soft touch honeycomb wool is applied. The seat and backrest are made of
a bi-density foam based on a solid wood frame. The sofa is available in three
colours and two dimensions, with a matching ottoman in different sizes.

SACHA LAKIC
MASTER OF
MOTION
“One should always be a little improbable” – Oscar
Wilde
skills under the tutelage of design artist Paul Bracq.
The design
was a revelation, and the start of a rapid chain of events. Firstly, Lakic took
charge of the integrated design offices of the Franco-Japanese manufacturer
MBK-Yamaha. Upon his arrival, he made his mark on all of the brand’s products,
from concept bikes to mass-produced models, and from show bikes to futuristic
designs, earning recognition from his peers in the shape of the 1993 Janus
design award. It is a huge credit to Lakic that the futuristic bikes he created
alongside British Formula 1 constructor Brabham are still fresh and don’t look
out of place even 20 years on.
Lakic makes
optimum use of his discussions with engineers and the industrial limitations to
breathe life into his projects as they constantly become bolder, more modern,
and more high-tech. On the other side of the coin, however, Lakic ensures that
his designs are always evocatively organic and dynamic.
In 1994 Lakic
branched out on his own, creating Sacha Lakic Design in the centre of Paris,
overlooking Montmarte. Once there he launched his first collaborative efforts,
designing scooters and motorbikes with Piaggio and Bimota, creating the Why Not furniture
range with David Lange and shaping watches and
fashion accessories with Jean Colonna.
Lakic’s work
underwent a digital revolution, as he progressed from the propelling pencil to
3D models, without ever losing the spontaneity of his sketchbook days. Over the
years, he has built up a team of new talent from all four corners of the world,
ranging from product designers to vehicle specialists to keen architects.
Today, his multicultural team and his design studio in Luxembourg are his most
crucial assets, allowing him to read and understand new trends in how people
live.
Since 1996, Lakic has put his talents to work creating a
variety of designs to give shape and substance to the nascent French brand
Voxan.
Two
encounters would define Lakic’s work.
The first was
with Roche-Bobois and led to him designing the Onda bed in
1996. What started as a first try turned out to be first class, and the magic
carpet-esque Onda was awarded the Casaidea prize in Rome.
Lakic formed
an instant understanding with the Roche-Bobois teams and the development
meetings were productive and dynamic. These gatherings gave rise to major
collections, such as 2005’s Speed Up and
2007’s Dyna,
as well as best-sellers including the Synopsis sofa
and the Speed Up sideboard.
Speed Up
brings together strong Mediterranean personality and the minimalist design that
Lakic discovered during his trips to Japan. The 50s-inspired “love spaceship”
sofa and even the dinner table with its carbon leg are based on flow and
motion. Still, but brimming with the power of movement, Speed Up’s statuesque
furniture blends modernity, innovation and elegance, making it not simply a
design but a genuine technological achievement.
Lakic’s
second important encounter was with Gildo Palanca Pastor, who arrived in 2000
to buy the sports car brand Venturi with the aim of making it THE new age car
manufacturer, driven by electric power.
This meeting
not only led to a genuine friendship between Lakic and Pastor, but to also to
the creation of vehicles that posed serious questions to the world of cars.
Fetish, Volage, Eclectic, Astrolab and America are
the vanguard of tomorrow’s cars, ready to be driven today.
Sacha Lakic
is one of very few designers who possess liquid creativity, switching with ease
from commercial products to architecture or from photography to fashion.
What truly
sets Lakic apart is the incredible feeling of movement that flows through his
creations, imbuing them with life, form and soul.
Sacha Lakic
takes command of technical limitations to create projects that join beauty and
sensuality with functionality. As a master of motion and speed, he shifts the
frame through which we perceive the world, opening new technological and
abstract horizons, while evoking wellbeing and pure emotion.
His creations
transcend time and are destined to become future classics.
