BoBo was one of our first stops on the High Point market circuit. Owned by Mark Sage and Rudy Njissen, this to-the-trade operation is based in Atlanta with a showroom in High Point. They travel to France, Belgium, Argentina, and other places hunting for vintage and flea market finds, and they also design several lines of furniture sold through Restoration Hardware, John Derian, and other stores.
The first and third floors of the showroom were filled with vintage finds, the second featured the BoBo line, and the basement was packed with clearance pieces. It was a decorator's dream land.
Our favorites included design drawings by Argentinian ironworker Jose Thenee, French chandeliers dripping with crystals, and random finds — like a red and white mini zeppelin and a giant taxidermy fish mounted to the brick warehouse wall.

Hi Gerre, Bobo is a to-the-trade only store, but if you are buying wholesale, you can contact them at the address and phone listed above. If you're buying retail, a few of their products are sold through Restoration Hardware and John Derian.
