Plum Furniture is a Canadian retailer of top end furniture.

History
In 1950, having become acquainted at the Copenhagen Furniture Fair, Philippe and François Roche, and Jean-Claude and Patrick Chouchan, joined forces to import Scandinavian furniture to Paris. Soon after, they added Scandinavian giftware, such as textiles, tableware, tapestries, to their furniture ranges. Known as ‘complementary objects’, these accessories were sold in adjoining boutiques.

2012 is the year of international growth: for the first time in its history, Roche Bobois reports more than 50% of turnover achieved abroad, notably in North America. Having been present in this region since 1974, the North America network becomes the second largest with the New York Madison store becoming the most important in the world in terms of sales.

In 2013, Roche Bobois further reinforces its international presence with a scheduled programme of 15 new showroom openings in more than 10 countries, including Singapore, Colombia, Indonesia and Bulgaria.

Designer
Colleen McGill of McGill Design Group Inc. is the sole designer of the Plum Furniture Collection.
