Bean Sofa by Bokja

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hibri launched Bokja 12 years ago, and since then the dynamic duo have built a successful international brand with a celebrity following including the likes of Christian Louboutin, Kate Hudson, Sandra Bullock, and Julia Roberts, to name but a few.
Part of the Classics collection, the Bean Sofa features a delightfully retro form upholstered in a vintage, bold, and graphic embroidered fabric from Kyrgyzstan, called a suzani. This traditional floral textile is framed with a patchwork of other printed remnants including Russian chintz and tapestry from Aubusson in France plus the signature Bojka assemblage most of which are produced in the brand’s bustling Beirut atelier.
Thrifting, crafting, restoring, reinventing, and upholstering: these are Bokja core values. In a kaleidoscopic studio staffed by women artisans, Bokja turns out exciting, uplifting, joyful designs aimed at an international audience. And along the way, they bolster their local community through sustainable craft practices that shine an auspicious light on Beirut's creative capital.

Please note that as all of Bokja designs are composed of vintage and new textile remnants, each object is unique; fabric combinations may vary slightly from piece to piece.

About the Creator

Bokja

Designers Huda Baroudi and Maria Hibri cofounded Bokja in Lebanon in 2000. The Beirut-based design and craft studio produces handmade furniture and accessories that combine classic midcentury forms with patchwork upholstery composed of vintage and new textile remnants sourced in the Middle East. Bokja works with a network of local artisans, carpenters, and designers to create each piece. In addition to its design goals, Bokja sees social engagement as a pillar of its practice; this extends not only to the craftsmen and materials they work with, but also into events such as fundraisers for local education and other causes important to its founders.

Baroudi (born in Sidon, Lebanon) and Hibri (born in Beirut) met in the early 2000s through a mutual friend, who recognized their shared passion for textiles and unique, secondhand furniture pieces.Bokja began life in a neglected mansion in Beirut, which they referred to as “the Palace.” In 2008, the atelier expanded to include a second space in the same neighborhood.

Bokja pieces have been included in numerous exhibitions, including And Then There Were None at Cuadro Fine Art Gallery, Dubai (2013), Arabic Seasons at the Institut de Monde Arabe, Paris (2012), as well as Talking Textiles, curated by Li Edelkoort, at Spazio Gianfranco Ferré, Milan (2011).
