Roche Bobois Celebrates Women’s Month: Honouring Three Visionary Creators

In celebration of women’s month, Roche Bobois proudly shines a spotlight on three exceptional women whose artistry and creativity have left an indelible mark on the world of design: Joana Vasconcelos, Vanessa Mitrani and Jiang Qiong Er. These visionary artists not only push the boundaries of their respective crafts but also embody the spirit of innovation and tradition that Roche Bobois cherishes.

Joana Vasconcelos, a renowned Portuguese artist based in Lisbon is celebrated for her thought-provoking work that explores the complexities of womanhood, consumerism and identity. Through her innovative use of artisanal traditions and Portuguese savoir-faire, she creates pieces that bridge the gap between museum spaces and the home. Her Bombom Collection, inspired by her crochet wall “paintings,” is a vibrant, fluid and colourful expression of comfort and interaction, inviting us to experience art in our everyday lives.

Vanessa Mitrani, a trailblazer in creative glass blowing has been collaborating with Roche Bobois since 1998. Her mastery of glass and her commitment to creating unique pieces have earned her a place in the permanent collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts. Mitrani’s work is characterized by its randomness and originality which is a testament to her artistic intuition and technical prowess, continually pushing the boundaries of design.

Jiang Qiong Er, a pioneering Chinese artist-designer merges traditional Chinese craftsmanship with contemporary luxury design. Her collaboration with Roche Bobois on the Bamboo Collection is a poetic reinterpretation of bamboo, a symbol of essential values in Chinese culture. Her work seamlessly blends elegance with a deep respect for tradition, creating pieces that are both timeless and innovative.
