Roche Bobois has opened a new, 6,000-square-foot furniture showroom in North Palm Beach, Fla.
The corporate-owned showroom is Roche Bobois' only Palm Beach County location and its second showroom in Florida, joining Coral Gables which opened in 1997.
"With more than 250 locations worldwide, Roche Bobois is a Paris-based company synonymous with fine, European-made furniture, design and distribution," said Julien Bigan, general manager for Roche Bobois in the Southeast. "Hiring the local French café, Paris In Town, was a perfect fit, and we were glad to give our business to a restaurant in the neighborhood."
At a recent open house, guests mingled inside the showroom, which is now open to consumers, interior designers, architects and specifiers. The contemporary setting blends with some "aged" wall and ceiling décor, resulting in a dramatic effect. Within the newly renovated, eco-friendly space, Roche Bobois showcases a display of products from its exclusive Les Contemporains and Les Nouveaux Classiques furniture collections.
Producing its own exclusive furniture and accessories for the home, the Roche Bobois Paris brand was born in 1961 after the merger of two French family businesses. Twenty-four of the company's 250 retail locations in 45 countries are located in the U.S.
