dc.descriptionWe present an exact solution to the problem of the global shape description of a spherical vesicle distorted by a grafted latex bead. This solution is derived by treating the nonlinearity in bending elasticity through the (topological) Bogomol'nyi decomposition technique and elastic compatibility. We recover the ``hat-model'' approximation in the limit of a small latex bead and find that the region antipodal to the grafted latex bead flattens. We also derive the appropriate shape equation using the variational principle and relevant constraints.
