Design: Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
The brothers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have been working together for over twenty years. Born in Brittany in the 70s, they began their career in 1997 when, very young, they designed the Disintegrated Cuisine, a work which, in its simplicity, completely overturns the concept of traditional cuisine and which was noticed by Giulio Cappellini during the presentation at the Salone del Mobile in Paris. Cappellini commissioned the two brothers to design a bed and a chair. This is how the Lit Clos was born, a nomadic piece of furniture halfway between the bed and the bedroom, which proposes the concept of the Disintegrated Kitchen, and the Hole Chair, a chair made with a single sheet of laser-cut aluminium.
The careers of the two designers took a decisive turn in 2000, thanks to some important works. They are responsible for the design of the Parisian shop of Issey Miyake, dedicated to the A-Poc collection, followed by the Joyn office furniture system for Vitra. In 2001 the Kreo gallery in Paris, a laboratory specialized in the production of limited edition series, which has already worked with designers such as Mendini, Grcic, Morrison and many others, involved them in a solo exhibition. From this moment on, important collaborations began with brands such as Flos, Kartell, Magis, Mutina, Artek, Alessi, Cassina.
The style of the Bouroullec brothers stands out for its clean lines, the simplicity of the shapes and the lightness of volumes. Each project starts from the desire to redefine space in terms of flexibility and modularity, aiming for essentiality and comfort, eliminating all superfluous elements, but without being reduced to cold minimalism. Among the best sellers designed by the two brothers, there are the Cloud bookcase, the Spring armchair and the Basket 011 sofa for Cappellini; the Algues plastic partition screen, the Alcova sofa and the Vegetal chair for Vitra; the Steelwood Chair, awarded the ADI 2011 Compasso d'Oro, and the Striper table collection for Magis; the Facett seating collection, awarded the Red Dot Award in 2008 and the Ploum sofa for Ligne Roset.
Driven by an inexhaustible curiosity for every artistic expression, the two brothers also stand out for projects that go beyond the context of industrial design, and which embrace goldsmith art, drawing, photography, video art up to architecture. Their projects have been exhibited in collective and personal exhibitions since 2002, while some objects are part of the permanent collections of prestigious museums such as the MoMa in New York, the Center Pompidou in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Design Museum of London.
