Imagine a piece of furniture that embodies the perfect harmony of sleek technology, intuitive functionality, and a touch of pure artistry. That's the Bubble Sofa, the brainchild of visionary designer Sacha Lakic, who infuses each creation with his deep passion for pushing boundaries. Inspired by the raw beauty of nature and the captivating forms of minerals, the Bubble Sofa is a handcrafted masterpiece. Its unique round contours required the creation of specialized stretch fabrics, ensuring a seamless fit that envelops you in comfort and style. The Bubble Sofa isn't just furniture; it's an experience. 

Henrietta Mary Ann Skerrett Montalba (8 April 1848 – 14 September 1893) was a British sculptor, born into a renowned family of artists. She studied art at what was to become the Royal College of Art with fellow-student, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. The Princess painted a portrait of her which today hangs in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada. She first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1876, and her work was often seen at the Grosvenor Gallery in London. Montalba was rarely separated from her family, residing in later days chiefly at the family home in Venice, Italy. She died in Venice, on September 14, 1893, and was buried near her father in the island cemetery of San Michele. One of her sculptures, a bronze titled Boy Catching a Crab, is in the collection of The Victoria and Albert Museum.

In 1858 Princess Victoria, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, had married Prince Frederick William of Prussia. This is a portrait of them and their two eldest children.
