Bohus are a furniture retailer in Norway.

It was founded in 1976 under the name Samarbeidende Møbelhandlere ('Cooperating Furniture Retailers').[1] The current name is a pun using the words bo and hus, Norwegian for "live" and "house" respectively, inspired by the famous German art school Bauhaus. The name is also shared by a Swedish fortress, on Norwegian land until the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658.

The chain operates 60 stores. The administrative headquarters are at Økern, Oslo.[1]
