Bocca by Heller
Striking, bold, and unmistakably iconic, Bocca transforms any space it inhabits into a work of art. Its story is rooted in surrealist inspiration, drawing from Salvador Dalí’s vision of Mae West’s famously full lips. In the 1930s, Dalí imagined her face as a surrealist apartment, where her lips became a sculptural sofa—a playful and provocative idea that captivated the art and design world for decades. Over time, bespoke lip-shaped seating pieces emerged, crafted by visionary patrons who saw the potential to bring this concept to life.
In 2004, Heller launched Bocca, reinterpreting the lips-shaped sofa for a contemporary audience. Constructed from durable polyethylene, this version is both practical and versatile, designed to thrive in indoor and outdoor environments. From homes to offices to hospitality spaces, Bocca’s bold curves and vibrant form add a sense of playful sophistication to any setting.
Meaning “mouth” in Spanish, Bocca is more than a piece of furniture—it’s a symbol of creativity, individuality, and timeless design. Its sculptural elegance honors its surrealist origins while embracing modern material innovation.
Made in the USA and 100% recyclable, Bocca combines artistic heritage with cutting-edge craftsmanship, ensuring it remains a centerpiece of style and innovation.
