West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1888PressRelease) May 02, 2013 - The opening of Roche Bobois' newest furniture showroom, located south of Northlake Boulevard on U.S. Highway One in North Palm Beach, is official, marked by a recent ribbon cutting commemorating the occasion. Attended by North Palm Beach Village and Northern Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce VIPs, as well as representatives of the international home furnishings company and others, the event provided the opportunity for guests to tour the customized 6,000-square-foot showroom and enjoy Parisien pastries.

Presently, the new corporate-owned showroom is Roche Bobois' only Palm Beach County location and its second showroom in Florida, joining Coral Gables which opened in 1997.

"With more than 250 locations worldwide, Roche Bobois is a Paris-based company synonymous with fine, European-made furniture, design and distribution. Hiring the local French café, Paris In Town, was a perfect fit, and we were glad to give our business to a restaurant in the neighborhood," said Julien Bigan, Roche Bobois general manager for the U.S. South East.

"On behalf of the Council, administration and staff, I am happy to welcome Roche Bobois to North Palm Beach," said Village of North Palm Beach Mayor William L. Manuel prior to the ceremony. "Three years ago, we put a program in place to become a more business-friendly community, and now we are excited about having Roche Bobois here. We wish you success and prosperity."

Guests mingled inside the 6,000-square-foot showroom, which is now open to consumers, interior designers, architects and specifiers. The sleek, contemporary setting blends with some "aged" wall and ceiling décor, resulting in a dramatic effect. Within the newly renovated, eco-friendly space, Roche Bobois showcases a stunning display of products from its exclusive Les Contemporains and Les Nouveaux Classiques furniture collections. Also, twice a year, the French Maison is presenting new models for both collections and collaborates for its finest fabrics with well-known fashion designs such as Sonia Rykiel, Missoni and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Producing its own exclusive furniture and accessories for the home, the Roche Bobois Paris brand was born in 1961 after the merger of two French family businesses. Twenty-four of the company's 250 retail locations in 45 countries are situated in the U.S.

Roche Bobois' newest home, at 136 U.S. Highway One in North Palm Beach, has a parking lot in front for use by customers. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday by appointment only. For further information, visit www.roche-bobois.com or call (561) 835-4982.
