Bohemian Rhapsody

If a vacation to London, New York, or Paris isn’t in the cards anytime soon, then a road trip (or a 2 hours flight) to Maison Bo-M in Riyadh is the next best thing. 

Nestled in a residential area (Nujoud Mall  next to  the Inter Continental Hotel), Maison Bo-M refers to the Bohemian lifestyle in the 19th century in Paris (Latin Quarter) where young artists were living a free life separate from rigid society and following their passions and fantasy without cultural boundaries.

The layout and the interior of this astonishing concept store is presented in a way that engages the over-stimulated/jaded/bored who still want to see, touch, be inspired and buy beautiful pieces from a mix of contemporary designers. Maison Bo-M also aims to support up-and-coming talents inspired by different representations of art and promote the traditional handcraft heritage from developing countries. 

Maison Bo-M will be an “atelier” in constant evolution where art meets fashion and “Old meets New” focusing on creativity, artist collaborations, and special projects with designers. The 250 m2 space offers a different ambiance for each floor, as you can see from the featured photos, from sophisticated and luxury to contemporary playground showcasing avant-garde designers, emerging talents and ethnic fashion.  Maison Bo-M also has a café lounge called Sweet home where you get to indulge in reading books and magazines while sipping your cappuccino.  

Thouq Magazine has featured Bo-M here too. For more info on Maison Bo-M, please send an e-mail to info@maisonbo-m.com. Their website is currently under construction, but check out their logo, it’s been designed  by Surface to Air, how cool is that!!

Stunning architecture!
