ROBJ was an anagram of Jean Born the founder of the company in 1908. After the first world war Jean Born together with his business partner Lucien Willemetz had a shop at 3 cité d’Hauteville in Paris selling porcelain figurines and other objects advertised as the ‘Bibelots de Robj’ - robj trinkets. Late 20s Robj opened a second shop at 32 rue de Paradis which later moved to number 51 in the same street. The company commissioned many young designers to design items for their shop. Jean Born died in a car crash in 1922 after which Willemetz continued the company on his own. In the 20s Robj was very popular and a commercial success. The company closed in 1931. Nowadays especially Robj incense burners and table lamps are sought after collectibles.
