Delcourt explores the interplay of walnut and travertine in his latest Palatine collection with Roche Bobois

In their latest collaboration, Roche Bobois and Christophe Delcourt, explore the interplay between two staple materials in the brand’s history – walnut and travertine.

The Palatine collection includes a table, a sideboard and seating, which has been credited as the designer’s love letter to Italy, drawing on inspiration from the country’s classic and contemporary architecture.

The Palatine dining table features two semi-cylindrical travertine pillars as the base, connected by a pair of solid walnut bars. The slightly rounded tabletop is solid and veneer walnut with a fine grain, refined veining and a concave travertine insert set in the middle. $15,795 at Roche Bobois.

The Palatine sideboard echoes a similar effect to the dining table. The decorative concave travertine detail is repeated in the double legs that come up along the front, intertwining with the flush doors. The sideboard also features a Roman travertine top with softened edges, juxtaposing itself to its deep Canaletto walnut veneer sides. At Roche Bobois.

Stepping into the living room, the Palatine armchair and sofa’s plump cushions have an inviting look. Clean-lined and timelessly aesthetic, the low-profile armchair and sofa feature piping details that highlight the interlocking seat and armrest. The wool-alpaca bouclé fabric emphasizes the lushness of this piece. Armchair $6,105. Sofa $12,545 at Roche Bobois.

The collaboration between Roche Bobois and Christophe Delcourt looks to the naturalness of two of its prized material, walnut and travertine, to strike a balance between richness and elegance. The rawness of the materials add an essence of whimsy, while maintaining a striking presence in any space.
