The iconic French style of Roche Bobois has been impressing designers and design lovers for decades, and with new collections launching in 2020, the brand continues to impress.

January 23rd, 2020
The story of Roche Bobois is the story of two families – the Roches and the Chouchans. In the 1950s, the Roches were selling Bauhaus inspired classic furniture with a flourish of French style, while the Chouchans were selling some of the finest European furniture in Paris on Boulevard Sébastopol at “Au Beau Bois”. Their meeting led to the formal launch of the company – and it’s been designer bliss ever since.

Present in over 50 countries, the French style of Roche Bobois has seen design collaborations from some of the finest designers in the world – including Ora Ito, Sacha Lakic, Stephen Burks and many more.
These new launches under the Modern Times banner see the brand continue to evolve and help shape the design world through modern furniture. Taking inspiration from the 1920s Art Deco style with a modern twist, these collections will inspire and entice designers and design lovers for this new decade of the ‘20s.
