138 June 2013 www.bahrainthismonth.com marketplace ROCHE BOBOIS Exhibiting the Best Hans Hopfer has always created a sensible balance between creative space and lifestyle. In collaboration with Marco Furmagalli, he has created the Mah Jong bed for the Roche Bobois’ contemporary collection. Upholstered in fabrics and boasting the Missoni Home logo, the bed has padded headboard cushions, a hand-stitched finish and an adjustable metal base. On the other hand, Philippe Bouix’s approach is beyond the standard seat comfort. His design is based on a constant quest of visual comfort and harmoisation of shapes, sometimes punctuated with wood or chrome details. For the Nouveaux Classiques collection, he has created the Brisbane three-seater sofa, which is upholstered in Opus leather, European hide, rectified grain and pigmented finish. An armchair and ottoman are available as well. When he established his own design agency, Daniel Rode made a natural transition to furnishings, picking up several awards on the way. Rode takes his inspiration from the human body; delivering structurally ergonomic forms produced using a range of unconventional solutions that make use of ductile materials. This is most evident in the Vertigo desk. Non-conformist Italian designer Maurice Barilone cultivates years of passion for furniture objects. He has collaborated with Roche Bobois for over three decades, creating pieces like the Voiles dining table. This stand-out centrepiece has a base in 10mm-thick curved steel and a top in 15mm-thick tempered glass. It is available in chrome, black nickel, copper and brass finishes. E Call 17 582-901. Some furnishing houses truly appreciate the skill set behind each item in their showroom; it eventually takes shape of a gallery. Brisbane Voiles Mah Jong BOCONCEPT A New Twist Unexpected contrasts are achieved by combining traditional patterns and colours in new, untraditional ways at BoConcept. A check pattern is put together with a floral print. The colour red is with an animal print. The surprise of a neon yellow in a scale of blue tones is also present in its newest accessories collection. The rule is that there are no rules. Enjoy well-known, geometric patterns that remind you of looking into a kaleidoscope. Surprise yourself when these traditional patterns are combined with more organic patterns such as flowers and animal prints. The new cushions from BoConcept feature colour combinations never seen before that bring a playful edge to the design. Although there are no limits to the play with colours and patterns, the look is brought together by carefully worked details such as zips and piping in strong colours. These characteristic colours are repeated in the Maya Indian-inspired patterns of the new, soft and exquisite throws. From another part of the world, the shape of the Russian Babushka doll has been transferred to new glass vases in two colours, purple and blue. The dolls come in sets of five. You can choose between red or blue colour scales, each with a little surprise in the colour combination and with one doll standing out from the rest. The playfulness of the new BoConcept accessories continues with the storage boxes and candlesticks in rubber wood. The three candlesticks work as building blocks that can be combined into one or two candlesticks. Mix the different colours and patterns on each side of the candlesticks to create fun, exciting combinations. E Call 17 564-319.
