PALATINE
Sideboard
W. 240 x H. 70 x D. 50 cm
Designed by Christophe Delcourt
Composed of a table, a sideboard, and a seating arrangement, Palatine is the designer's tribute to Italy, which inspires him: to its history and way of life, to its classical or contemporary architecture, and to all the details that make light cling to a column, a hollow, a projection, as on the facade of a building.
In this spirit, Christophe Delcourt aimed to explore for his furniture the possible interactions between two emblematic materials of Roche Bobois' history, wood and stone. Here, walnut and unfilled travertine, the former bringing its warm grain, the latter the beauty of its imperfection. Both are sourced locally since the workshop is in Urbino, at the heart of the peninsula.
The sideboard was conceived as an architectural structure: its walnut-veneered volume is supported by two load-bearing stone elements in Roman travertine, around which the four doors are articulated. The same travertine, with its quarter-round edge, covers the doors, as does the walnut base of the volume.
