Roche Bobois has long been at the forefront of design, partnering closely with top designers, architects, and artists to craft furniture that marries form and function with a distinctive creative flair. This season, their newest collaboration brings the Elanta collection, created by renowned designer Patrick Norguet, who infused the line with a timeless elegance marked by intricate woodwork and contemporary details.
Patrick Norguet describes his approach to Elanta as one centred on connection—with both the brand and the collaborative team at Roche Bobois. This partnership, he notes, fostered his creativity, resulting in a collection that is “simple, clear, and very elegant.” For Norguet, elegance is an attitude, and Elanta embodies this ethos with its refined architecture and understated detailing, celebrating a style free of ostentation. As a designer, Norguet has a profound respect for brands and processes, and he sees Roche Bobois as the perfect fusion of strategy and creativity—a balance he considers invaluable to his work.
Roche Bobois echoes Norguet’s sentiments, sharing their excitement about the Elanta collection as a shared vision of design for living. This collection upholds their tradition of artisanal work while embracing the brand’s innovative spirit and heritage.
Dining Table
The Elanta dining table is a masterpiece, featuring a wood and ceramic tabletop with gently rounded corners and a graceful sloping edge. Its base is adorned with delicate woodwork details, embodying the subtle sophistication of the collection. Click here for more details.
Dining Armchair
Complementing the table, the Elanta dining armchair mirrors these soft, flowing lines. Curved armrests and backrests are accented with elegant piping, which can be either tonal or in contrasting colours. Onyx-finished rings on the wide-set chair add a refined touch. Click here for more details.
Elanta Occasional Furniture
Extending beyond dining, the Elanta range includes occasional furniture pieces featuring the same refined design elements. The line’s elegant wood facades, curved sides, and tabletop options in ceramic, oak, or lacquer provide versatility. Metal accents in onyx or hammered black steel add a sophisticated contrast, offering flexible layout possibilities in any space. Click here for more details.
