A season of generous proportions and ’70s-inspired curves and impressions, offering a heightened perception of the period’s fashion. A season of unpretentious sophistication that favours responsible design without sacrificing Roche Bobois’s savoir independence.
With mineral tones, browns, yellows, and ochres – an earthy palette – offset by a plethora of blues, spring 2023 blows hot and cold while balancing well-researched shapes and avant-garde techniques.
Roche Bobois also keeps building on its successful, current collections. Through new finishes, the furniture is given a fresh perspective: cutting-edge fabric, and fresh hues whilst conjuring intriguing glass expressions on a number of pieces.
Numerous sofas by designer Mauziro Manzoni have garnered attention, most notably the modular and roomy A-PROPOS, which has strikingly simple lines. Ample volume is combined with simple lines in the modular sofa set.
Christian Ghion is back at Roche Bobois with two distinctive pieces: the Sumito drinking table, named after a Japanese marble game, and the Autograph lamp, which resembles light painting in that it appears to create a line in the air.
The group’s expertise is showcased in extraordinary pieces, such as the Serpentine dining table by Fabrice Berrux.
Roche Bobois of Paris would like to welcome the collaboration of Raphael Navot – the named designer of the year 2023.
For the Paris edition of Maison&Objet in January 2023, Roche Bobois was delighted to collaborate with Raphael Navot.
Raphael Navot, who was named designer of the year, will present “The Apothem Lounge” on this occasion. By carefully arranging an open structure to flood people with light and texture, this impressive piece aims to elicit a visual feeling. It is a big, circular hall that enables visitors to explore interiors without regard for purpose or context, much as on a theatrical stage where the visitors are players.
The Dot armchair and the Parrot ottoman, both from the Nativ collection, are the seats offered by Roche Bobois in the Apothem Lounge. The 2018 Roche Bobois collection Nativ has organic, natural lines. It begins a conversation between nature and society, accented by geometric accuracy and impromptu forms. The result is jewellery produced from premium materials that combine unheard-of manual artistry with semi-industrial methods.
