The final collection by Kenzo Takada for Roche Bobois is a project that blends French design with the visual delicacy of Japanese culture, brought to life through ceramics crafted by Rometti.
KENZO TAKADA FOR
ROCHE BOBOIS
ROMETTI
The hallmark of Kenzo Takada’s work lies in his poetic graphic language, expressed through a meaningful two-dimensionality. His compositions evoke a world of light symbols, essential geometries, and meticulously modulated colors—where every stroke seems to whisper a story. For Rometti, translating this visual sensibility into ceramics meant giving three-dimensional form to a mental image without losing the lightness of the original gesture. In this refined collaboration with Roche Bobois, Rometti played a key role by contributing a series of ceramic pieces—bottles, boxes, vases, and centerpieces—that enrich the collection with a tactile, artisanal quality. These are not merely decorative elements, but narrative objects, capable of dialoguing with the lyrical aesthetic of the Japanese designer. The result is a series of pieces where light, material, and color interact in a carefully balanced play, honoring the harmony between artisanal tradition and contemporary interpretation.
