Euro Chic in Atlanta

I stumbled across this website for an Atlanta-based design boutique called Bobo Intriguing Objects. The website is very limited in description of the history of the business or its curators, but bottom line - I love pretty much everything they have, ranging from lighting to outdoor planters to case goods to upholstery. If I had to shop at one store ever again, they might be in the running. It all has a rough-hewn, old-world European look. Nothing is too glossy or fussy, and they really have a wonderful eye for proportion and interesting shapes/lines. I encourage you to go look at the full collection on their site for more eye candy. Additional note: they do COM upholstery (Client's Own Material) for no additional charge.


Elkins Arm Chairs - love the historically-inspired lines of this chair. The revised shield shape of the backs lend these an almost anthropomorphic quality. Don't they look like women with their hands on their hips, like they could almost get up and walk away on those cabriole legs?


Loveseat - this would be perfect against a wall in an entry or living room. Love the overscaled back and the shape of the arms a well as the cabriole legs.


Iron/Oak Lantern - love the proportion and mix of light and dark. Also, the detailing of the studs along the stringers and the juxtaposition of the vintage-style bulb with the refined style of the piece overall add it layers of interest.


Brugges Planter - love the angled sides, scalloped top edges and ball finials


Alexandre Table - Love the delicately shaped base in sturdy iron.


Agadir Mirror - Love the unexpected angled sides and the overall proportions of this shape.

Oliver Bookshelf - love the matte, raw white-washed finish and the turned spindle supports.

Really interesting pieces. In pariticular, I like the Love Seat with the high back -- that makes it easy to snooze and avoid the dreaded head-bob!
