Our Story

Babou New York presents European furniture, art, and objects, including 17th, 18th, and 19th century antiques, 20th century modernist pieces, and contemporary bespoke design.

Our collection brings together pieces from across Europe – France, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland – with a particular emphasis on Italian mid-century modernism. Works by celebrated designers such as Osvaldo Borsani, Gio Ponti, Mario Bellini, Paolo Buffa, Angelo Mangiarotti, and Afra and Tobia Scarpa sit alongside pieces selected for their sculptural form and exceptional craftsmanship.

Founder Catherine McCarthy has spent more than 25 years sourcing pieces throughout Europe for interior designers, architects, and private clients around the world.
