French furniture brand expands into alfresco living with two new lines focused on craftsmanship, colour and sustainable materials.
Roche Bobois has introduced its first comprehensive outdoor collection during Milan Design Week 2026, moving beyond individual pieces to propose a complete vision for terraces, gardens and poolside settings.
The collection is built around two distinct pillars. The first, Catalina, marks the return of American designer Stephen Burks, who has created a full outdoor range that prioritises artisanal craftsmanship, meticulous finishing and responsibly sourced materials. Burks, known for his human‑centred, multicultural approach, said the collection aims to bring “a deeply human dimension” to exterior living.
The second pillar continues Roche Bobois’s long‑standing collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni. The Formentera series translates Missoni’s signature chromatic energy into outdoor seating, where bold patterns, vivid colours and tactile fabrics merge into a distinctly vibrant aesthetic.
“At Roche Bobois, we are constantly striving to broaden our vision of design by embracing strong and unique creative sensibilities,” said Éric Amourdedieu, the brand’s group executive director. “Stephen Burks embodies this approach perfectly.”
The French brand, known for its daring, fashion‑infused identity, presented the collection in a dedicated installation that emphasised a relaxed yet sophisticated outdoor lifestyle – from sunlit terraces to the water’s edge.
The new pieces are set to arrive at the Roche Bobois Kuala Lumpur flagship store soon.
