Sacha Lakic’s Focale collection plays with light and empty space
A minimalist table where acrylic glass and amber cylinders create an optical poem. Geometry dissolves into reflection, leaving only the elegance of void.

Sacha Lakic’s Focale collection for Roche Bobois transforms the ordinary coffee table into an exercise in visual alchemy. A generous circular top in acrylic glass appears to hover above two cylindrical supports in warm amber tones, their translucent surfaces catching and refracting light with quiet intensity. The geometry is deliberately restrained, yet somehow the simplicity becomes profound.
What emerges from this interplay of circles and reflections is something almost paradoxical: material that seems to vanish. The amber cylinders anchor the composition with their earthen warmth, while the glass surface above catches ambient light and sends it dancing across the room. Stand before it from different angles and the table reveals itself anew, the negative space between elements becoming as important as the objects themselves.
This is minimalism at its most sophisticated, where less genuinely becomes more. The design speaks to a particular sensibility, one that understands that luxury need not announce itself through ornament or excess. Instead, it whispers through the precision of form, through materials chosen for their ability to transform light, through the courage to leave space empty when it might easily be filled. In interiors of restrained palette and considered geometry, the Focale collection finds its natural home, a sculptural presence that enhances without demanding attention.
