French designer Jean Paul Gaultier is to launch his own furniture line. The designer has teamed up with interiors firm Roche Bobois to create the range, which will maintain his sexy signature style.

“For me, life is all about self-expression, whether it’s on your body or in your home,” he told the New York Post.

According to Gaultier, the collection - which will be unveiled on Thursday at New York’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House - features “a sectional sofa with sex appeal: mattress-like modules that incorporate my signature tattoo prints and sailor stripes, as well as a portrait of lovers who are about to kiss. This sofa brings the bedroom into any room in your house.”
