138 February 2013 www.bahrainthismonth.com Funky is the New Trendy ROCHE BOBOIS With fashion houses, well-known designers and brands entering the furniture world, statements and designs that stand out are only natural. Elegance and exuberance define Italian fashion. Missoni Home’s iconic zigzag stripes and joyous yet refined floral prints, exclusively designed for Roche Bobois, both dress and reveal the piece of furniture that wears them. The furnishing store, located in Seef district, practises the concept of ‘poptimism’; the inclination to look on the bright side, to view the world through a brilliantcoloured lens. In accordance with this theme, Hans Hopfer has designed a modular sofa system with hand-upholstered fabric to create button-quilted components with straight-back, corner and backrest options. The myriad of possibilities of the Mah Jong sofa sets is just as intriguing as the traditional Chinese tile game. It’s perfect for a room that demands a lounge-like vibe, especially with its bohemian traits. This range works best in a playful, weathered space. It can also be the focal point in a room that is largely black, white or both, creating a modern-day, artistic look. Another key piece in Roche Bobois’ contemporary range is Maurice Barilone’s Voiles dining table. The non-conformist Italian designer cultivates years of passion for furniture. “An object, even the most modern, is not a dead thing. It conceals a little magic which I must make emerge. For me, a piece of furniture is primarily a sculpture, where balance answers to imbalances,” he says.With a 10mm-thick curved table base and 15mm of a tempered glass top, this piece is the epitome of minimalism. It is also available in steel, chrome, black nickel, copper and brass finishes. The Sorgues bedroom collection is just what you need to convert your house into a home. The furnishing brand’s Nouveaux Classiques range takes you on a journey to the past. Available in 12 colours and a waxed antique finish, this bed is made in solid linden with wood veneered headboards and legs. It can also be made with French cherry wood that is processed the traditional way for the flawless neoclassical effect. E Call 17 582-901.
