Paris Style Video: Roche Bobois Furniture

Irwin Weiner ASID - Greetings from Paris! Jay Johnson and I are on Day 3 of our vacation in the beautiful French capital, and that of course means that we're on "assignment" for Design2Share. We never go anywhere without reporting back on residential and home trends, and that includes the latest international hotel scene and other looks in public spaces that will soon influence the shape of home style. Our third featured video is a what-if lifestyle video from Roche Bobois, the iconic French furniture design firm, imagining what life would be like if its furnishings were part of everyday life outdoors. Lots of fun. Also fun: the ASTROLAB dining table (top photo), with an automatic, fully-visible mechanical mechanism (how steampunk!) that extends or retracts the glass leaf extensions.

Irwin Weiner ASID - We're heading to Paris in mid-October, and today the trip has us thinking all about fine French contemporary design. That immediately puts to mind Roche Bobois, a leader in contemporary French home furnishings. Here are some of my favorites from their current collections; as usual, please click on each photo for more information.
