What sets Roche Bobois apart is its commitment to celebrating creativity in all its forms. Each collection is conceived as a story, a fusion of artistic expression and functional design. Whether you're stepping into a Roche Bobois showroom in Paris, New York, Milan, or in Johannesburg/ Cape Town, you are instantly immersed in a world where furniture transcends the ordinary and becomes a lifestyle.

Each Roche Bobois piece is made in Europe, often crafted in small scale workshops that honour traditional artisanal techniques. This hands-on approach ensures a high level of attention to detail and allows for customisation to meet individual tastes. The brand places a strong emphasis on sustainable manufacturing, selecting responsibly sourced materials and prioritising eco-friendly practices that reduce environmental impact.

Roche Bobois owes much of its international acclaim to its bold collaborations with leading designers, artists and fashion houses. Designers like Marcel Wanders, Christophe Delcourt and Sacha Lakic have each contributed iconic pieces to the brands portfolio, while creative partnerships with haute couture legends such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Missoni and Kenzo Takada have brought a unique flair that bridges the gap between fashion and luxury interiors.

Roche Bobois in South Africa

Bringing this legacy of design furniture and craftsmanship to South Africa, Roche Bobois has opened two exclusive showrooms in Johannesburg and Cape Town. These spaces are more than retail destinations, they are immersive experiences designed to inspire homeowners, architects and interior designers alike.

The Roche Bobois Johannesburg showroom, located in Kramerville a vibrant design and décor hub in Sandton, is a must-visit for those seeking statement pieces and innovative interiors, offering a curated environment that showcases both timeless classics and avant-garde designs reflective of the brand’s diverse aesthetic vocabulary. In Cape Town, the showroom is situated in the creative district of De Waterkant, surrounded by galleries, boutiques and design studios and mirrors the city’s artistic energy while offering clients a unique opportunity to explore European furniture that aligns with both international trends and local sensibilities.

Both showrooms offer a tailored, personalised experience. Clients are guided by knowledgeable consultants through an extensive catalogue of furniture, lighting, accessories and bespoke design services. Whether you're furnishing a family home, luxury apartment or a boutique hospitality project, Roche Bobois provides the tools to bring your vision to life through custom materials, dimensions and finishes.

Introducing the New Autumn/Winter Collection

This Autumn/Winter season, Roche Bobois unveils a collection that beautifully captures its bold artistic identity. Staying true to its ethos of French Art de Vivre, the new collection is a celebration of colour, texture and imagination brought to life through luxurious materials and refined craftsmanship.

The Roche Bobois film directed by the award-winning Dean Alexander, features some of the Maisons most celebrated pieces in a dreamlike setting. Furniture like the sculptural Bubble sofa, the endlessly configurable Mah Jong, and the striking Aqua table come alive in cinematic vignettes that express Roche Bobois poetic and daring spirit.

One of the standout pieces of the season is the Mah Jong sofa, originally designed by Hans Hopfer in the 1970s and now reinterpreted with lacquered bases that draw inspiration from traditional Japanese aesthetics. The updated version features luxurious fabrics inspired by the chrysanthemum flower which is a symbol of beauty and longevity in Japanese culture. The result is a dramatic yet elegant design, further enhanced by intricate jacquard weaves and burnt-out velvet textures.

The new collection also introduces the Préface modular sofa, upholstered in a pearl-grey fabric that blends understated elegance with modern comfort. With its generous proportions, soft lines, and versatile modules, Préface is both visually calming and supremely livable.

Designer Patrick Norguet expands his Elanta collection with a new round marquetry dining table and a series of sophisticated bookcases. His minimalist approach is enhanced by rich finishes and sleek lines, making these pieces timeless yet contemporary. Likewise, the Palatine collection by Christophe Delcourt introduces a chic cocktail table and a refined china unit with an integrated bar, ideal for modern entertaining.

To complement the furniture pieces, the Autumn/Winter collection features a carefully curated selection of decorative accessories, including rugs, ceramics and lighting. These accents highlight the artistry of Roche Bobois’ global network of artisans and add depth, texture and personality to any space.
