Bibolina Bistrot Table

The Bibolina bistro table emulates all the charm of tables that adorned Parisian cafés and bistros at the beginning of the 19th century. By revisiting the lines of this iconic object, Julie Richoz has created a contemporary and versatile piece that adapts to different contexts and realms thanks to its compact shape and play on contrasting colours and materials. This practical and serviceable product can be disassembled and delivered flat. The table top and base are made from solid oak; its stem can be in wood or painted metal.

The name Bibolina, which means violin in Basque, echoes the feminine curves of the instrument that can be found in this product.

Julie Richoz:

Swiss-French designer Julie Richoz set up her eponymous design studio in Paris in 2015, through which she enjoys exploring with curiosity and sensibility the development of her own language through objects. From unique pieces to industrial scale, she sees a continuity rather than a difference between the two ways of production. In both cases, she is fascinated by the savoir-faire and the passion and precision in handling materials. Her practice ranges from objects, furniture, and lighting to textiles, for companies such as Alessi, Louis Poulsen, Hay, Mattiazzi, La Manufacture de Cogolin, Galerie kreo, among others.

After graduating from ECAL University of Art and Design Lausanne (2012), she worked for Pierre Charpin as a project assistant (2013-2015). She was a designer-in-residence at CIRVA Research Center on Art and Glass, France (2013), at Sèvres - Cité de la Céramique, France (2013), and at Casa Wabi, Mexico (2017). She has been awarded the Grand Prix at Design Parade (2012), Swiss Design Awards (2015/2019), Bourse Leenaards (2016) and the Grand Prix de la Création de la ville de Paris (2023). Since 2017, Richoz has taught industrial design at ECAL University of Art and Design Lausanne, Switzerland. "
