Bobs Furniture Info

Bobs Discount Furniture has provided fashionable, affordable home furnishings and bedding to its New England neighbors. The first Bobs, a modest showroom in Newington, Conn., laid the groundwork for the well-deserved reputation of genuine value and customer care that the company now enjoys. It was that reputation that drove the company's quick expansion statewide and into western Massachusetts. In 2000, Bobs began to look north, and entered the New Hampshire, Boston perimeter and southern Maine markets. The continued success and credibility of this homegrown company has now led to the opening of showrooms in Providence, Rhode Island; Nanuet, New York; and Totowa and Paramus New Jersey, for a total of 25 stores chain-wide.

While shopping, adults and children are invited to enjoy free refreshments in Bobs cafes or, depending on the store, take a break to watch a movie, play a video game or hit a round of miniature golf.

Robin and Lucienne Day exhibition

My in-the-know friend Abi just tipped me off about Robin and Lucienne Day: The Modern Interior – an upcoming exhibition at the gorgeous Pallant House Gallery, in Chichester, West Sussex.

The show, in partnership with Elle Decoration (among others) starts on March 26 and runs until June 26. I didn't know that the Days' home town was Chichester – but it makes it all the more fitting. You're almost certainly familiar with the cool British couple's post-war work – Robin designed the chair above, and many we've all sat on in public institutions. And Lucienne's graphic print fabrics have had a huge resurgence in the last few years. Together, their commitment was to design low cost, mass-produced, good quality furniture and fabric. Pieces that are now classics.

If you can't make it, at least enjoy a snapshot, with this clip, below, from a film about the Days that is being screened as part of the exhibition. There is also a tie-in book, also below, £25.

And if you haven't been to that part of the world – go! I went for the first time a couple of years ago and the gallery is a highlight – so refreshingly unlike London galleries, and stuffed with incredible art and furniture and crazy room recreations. When we were there, there was brilliant, if freaky, installation of mussel shells, covering an entire staircase. And the South Downs countryside... it's just one of my favourite places ever. If you make it, I'd recommend lunch (and maybe a room) at the Crab & Lobster, on the banks of Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve.
