William Steedly wrote about it:

“Volker Latussek knows how to think inside the box, outside the box, and without a box even present. With Bubble, he has done the latter with his usual creative genius. The four pieces themselves present a simple elegance that draws your attention. Of course, Pelikan's superior woodworking complements the design. Given the name Bubble, it is natural to conclude that the hemispheres are to be paired to form complete “bubbles,” and now the fun begins. The goal is to make a free-standing structure containing four bubbles. Without a box to use as a guide, Bubble's free-form challenge requires spatial skills found in the best mechanical puzzles. Bubble has two solutions for twice the fun since both are distinct and require different approaches. All in all, Bubble is a very nice elegant challenge.”
