Roche Bobois has named Patrick Cabaroc director of design for its newly opened 6,000-square-foot design showroom in North Palm Beach, Fla.
In addition, Cabaroc continues as designer director at the Roche Bobois showroom in Coral Gables.
"Patrick's inherent talent, along with this vast knowledge of art, design and home furnishings, have made him an indisputable helpmate to Roche Bobois clients at our Coral Gables location. I am confident he will be equally valuable in Palm Beach," said Julien Bigan, Roche Bobois' U.S. Southeast general manager. "Patrick is the consummate French gentleman, well traveled and fluent in French, English and some Chinese."
For eight years before relocating to the U.S., Cabaroc was an interior designer at the Royal Gallery and Romeo along the Champs Elysées in Paris, where he designed international projects in Monaco, Belgium, Switzerland, China, Russia, the U.S. and elsewhere. Previous design positions with "Sami el Khazen" & SOGEX took him to Saudia Arabia, Kuwait and Lebanon, where he learned about Middle Eastern culture as well. Also to his credit is a design project for the King of Saudia Arabia.
