Roche Bobois highlights outdoor living with new collections at Milan Design Week

French luxury furniture brand Roche Bobois will spotlight outdoor design during Milan Design Week 2026, unveiling a new collection that combines craftsmanship, bold aesthetics and contemporary comfort for open-air living.

Designed for terraces, gardens and poolside environments, the collection reflects the brand's vision of outdoor spaces as extensions of the home.

Two key collaborations

The 2026 outdoor offering is structured around two main collaborations.

1. The first is Catalina, a full outdoor collection designed by American designer Stephen Burks. Known for his multidisciplinary approach and focus on craftsmanship, Burks brings a human-centred perspective to the collection. Catalina combines refined design with attention to materials, finishes and responsible sourcing, including the use of sustainable materials. The collection includes pieces such as an outdoor dining table with a ceramic top, balancing durability with a refined visual identity.
2. The second pillar is the continued collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni, resulting in the Formentera collection. Designed by Philippe Bouix, the range features modular outdoor seating upholstered in Missoni fabrics, characterised by bold colours and expressive patterns.

Craft, colour and cultural perspective
According to Eric Amourdieu, Group Executive Director at Roche Bobois, the collections reflect the brand's commitment to working with designers who bring distinct creative viewpoints.

"Stephen Burks embodies our approach perfectly, his multicultural perspective and attention to craftsmanship bring a deeply human dimension to his creations," he said.

Expanding the outdoor concept
With these new collections, Roche Bobois reinforces the growing importance of outdoor living within contemporary design, where comfort, durability and aesthetics are increasingly aligned.

Founded in Paris in 1960, Roche Bobois operates in 55 countries, collaborating with international designers and fashion houses to create collections that combine innovation, craftsmanship and French art de vivre.

The new outdoor collections will be presented during Milan Design Week as part of the brand's latest design direction.
