Interview with Jiang Qiong Er

September 2024

Roche Bobois presents the Bamboo Mood collection created in collaboration with Chinese designer Jiang Qiong Er.

With this collection, the designer wanted to conjure bamboo, a powerful symbol in Chinese culture. The plant represents the key values of integrity, resilience, simplicity and harmony.
Jiang Qiong Er reinterprets these values with a poetic spin, adding touches that are often quirky but consistently elegant. The collection comprises a sofa, a screen, a console, and cocktail tables, together with rugs and ceramics.

Jiang Qiong Er : “Bamboo has always fascinated me. Elegant, hardy, fluid and peaceful, it counters strong winds with insolence and play. Bamboo bends but does not break. It whispers, trembles, filters the light, and plays with shadow. Timeless. It may seem fragile, yet it provides scaffolding for the world’s tallest skyscrapers. I designed this new Bamboo Mood collection as an invitation to travel; an inexhaustible source of inspiration, poetry, and dreams.”

Eric Amourdedieu, Roche Bobois Group Executive Director : “Design at Roche Bobois is rooted in our brand’s values and heritage, while also reflecting the many creative people we meet and with whom we collaborate. Among other things, French Art de Vivre has always epitomized this art of discovery and conversation.Our partnership with Jiang Qiong Er, a contemporary designer who taps into the vast repertoire of Chinese arts and culture, marks the start of an exceptional human and creative adventure.”
