Langham Place, New York, Fifth Avenue has announced a unique partnership with Roche Bobois, the world-renowned French design firm and retailer to introduce the new Roche Bobois Suites at Langham Place. These two 1,900 sq. ft. suites on the hotel's 25th and 26th floors debuted this Fall, featuring individually-designed interiors reflecting the iconic savoir faire with which Roche Bobois has become synonymous. 

 

“We are honored to be partnered with such a reputable design powerhouse as Roche Bobois,” said Richard Bussiere, managing director of Langham Place, New York. “Not only is their flagship store a landmark of our neighborhood, but their sense of French art de vivre is the ideal counterpoint to our existing design aesthetic. We are confident that our guests will be delighted with what they encounter in the new Roche Bobois Suites at Langham Place.”

 

“We are truly excited about this collaboration with Langham Place,” said Daniel Lombardi, Trade and Contract Division, Roche Bobois. “A reference for sophistication and contemporary elegance, there could be no better partner for our first hospitality project in the US. Our two companies share the same goal, which is for guests to feel at home away from home. Our focus was on offering the ultimate comfort, while preserving the design and craftsmanship which have been the DNA of Roche Bobois for over 50 years.”

 

The Roche Bobois Penthouses are suites 2503 and 2603, situated on two of the highest floors of the hotel. The existing suites already feature two full bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an additional half-bath, a combined living and dining area with full-service kitchen, washer and dryer, and, most notably, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the icon of the New York skyline, the Empire State Building.

 

Each suite underwent an individual re-design by the Roche Bobois team. Inspired by the brand's long-standing collaborations with iconic fashion houses, the spaces feature design elements from Roche Bobois' most recent collaboration with Christian Lacroix, as well as Paul Smith.

 

Some unique design elements of the new Roche Bobois Suites at Langham Place, New York are:

 

• Beautiful living room furniture, including the modular and stylish Presence Sofa, which features an adjustable back; the Profile tufted leather ottoman, a twist on the classic Chesterfield; and the Epoq Sofa from the Nouveaux Classique collection, which represents French tradition through chic and understated elegance
• A full dining room featuring the Aqua dining table, which is capable of seating up to 10 guests and boasts a water-drop shaped base, cut from a single block of Carrara marble that extends seamlessly into a black Fenix®-coated polyurethane top, made from an innovative material that combines ultra-matte aesthetic with cutting-edge technological performance and is completely resistant to stains, scratches, heat and cleaning products
• Courchevel King Size beds in each bedroom, ensconced in a wall of sectioned leather to serve as both the headboard and a unique wall covering
• Framed brocade artwork using materials from Maison Christian Lacroix, as an artistic counterpoint to the hotel's existing collection of Alex Katz artwork, created by Roche Bobois and exclusively featured at Langham Place, New York
• Mounted TV units by Chicane and Logos in each bedroom
• Drapery by men's fashion design Paul Smith, evoking the sharp tailored lines of a men's suit
• Accent pillows and throws throughout the suite by Maison Lacroix, the home furnishings arm of Christian Lacroix Paris
