Get ready to have your mind blown by the hottest sensation on Twitter and TikTok right now: the incredible Cerulean blue sofa! This one-of-a-kind piece is making waves everywhere. Imagine a sofa that looks like a funky blend of a corncob and a fluffy cloud – that’s the magic we’re talking about! It all started when @Yafavv.Mandaa, a TikTok user, stumbled upon this $8,000 beauty just sitting on a New York City curb. Instead of walking away, she saw its potential, gave it a thorough cleaning, and turned it into the star of her living room. Talk about a jaw-dropping transformation!

Naturally, some people had doubts about the sofa’s background. Bedbugs and bodily fluids? Valid concerns when you’re dealing with a sofa of mysterious origin.

Now let’s talk about the price. @Yafavv.Mandaa traced it back to the upscale brand Roche Bobois, known for its luxurious furniture. The sofa she found looked strikingly similar to their famous Bubble series, designed by the talented Sacha Lakic. Lakic wanted to bring art and emotion into people’s homes with his whimsical and creative designs. Normally, these Bubble sofas sell for a whopping $8,000 to $10,000, so stumbling upon one like @Yafavv.Mandaa did is seriously mind-blowing!

Stooping, the art of rescuing discarded treasures from curbside, is a beloved tradition in many places, especially in New York City. With its vibrant walking culture, transient rental living, and stark wealth disparities, the city becomes a bustling hub for turning trash into treasures. @stoopingnyc, the go-to social media account for curbside cowboys, explains, “In NYC, people are always coming and going, living in diverse ways, and that’s why you’ll find amazing furniture on the streets.”

But let’s address the big question: Was @Yafavv.Mandaa’s find too good to be true? Some doubts surfaced, given the market flooded with knock-offs. A quick search for replica designs revealed similar shapes, and identical cerulean hues, but with significantly lower price tags. On Twitter, some users also pointed out upholstery differences between the found sofa and the ones showcased on Roche Bobois’ website.

Of course, the eagle-eyed folks at @stoopingnyc were quick to spot the Blue Sofa and shared it on their Instagram Stories. That’s quite an achievement considering the hundreds of potential listings they receive daily, skyrocketing to thousands on weekends and at month-end. “We only sleep when it rains,” they joke. Their rule is simple: “No mattresses, only free items, and they must be placed outside.”

As luck would have it, @Yafavv.Mandaa might have hit the jackpot. A Roche Bobois spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of her find, thanks to the genuine designer tag and custom fabric, exclusive to the brand. They revealed that the sofa is upholstered in a unique Marshmallow textile, a less common but still legitimate option offered by the company.

Cindy Susilo, Roche Bobois’s marketing director for North America, confidently states, “After working in the company for over a decade, I can easily recognize our products. Our collections’ shapes, fabric, and colors, including iconic pieces like the Bubble, are unmistakable.”

While Roche Bobois has had its share of fame, with celebrities like Kate Moss, Hailey Bieber, and Charlotte Gainsbourg photographed on its cloudlike seats, nothing compares to the scale of this TikTok phenomenon. With over 8 million views and counting, the video has caused a frenzy. Since it went viral, the company reports a staggering 40-fold increase in traffic to the sofa’s product page. The question on everyone’s mind is, how long will this bubble last?
