Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
Ronan - France, 1971 / Erwan - France, 1976
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s working collaboration is a permanent dialogue nourished by their distinct personalities and a shared notion of diligence with the intention to reach more balance and fineness.
In 1997, they presented their Disintegrated Kitchen at the Salon du Meuble in Paris and were spotted by Giulio Cappellini, who gave them their first industrial design projects, notably the Lit clos (“Closed Bed”) and the Spring Chair. A meeting with Vitra’s Rolf Fehlbaum resulted in their conception of a new kind of office system, Joyn, in 2002. This was the beginning of a special partnership that has borne fruit in numerous projects, including Algues, the Alcove Sofa, the Worknest, the Slow Chair, the Vegetal and L’Oiseau. Since 2004, the Bouroullecs have also been working with Magis, for whom they have designed two complete furniture collections, Striped and Steelwood as well as additional projects such as the Pila chair, the Pilo table, the Central and Tambour tables.
In 2010, they debuted a new collection of tableware for Alessi. Since 2011, they have designed the Piani and Aim lamps for Flos, the Losanges rug for Nani Marquina, the Osso chair for Mattiazzi.
Today Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design for numerous manufacturers, Vitra, Kvadrat, Magis, Kartell, Alessi, Mattiazzi, Flos, and more recently, Iittala.
Artek was founded in 1935 to "sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means." Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl were inspired by the Bauhaus functionalism, simplicity, and the harmony between form and function.
The Artek collection is extensive and spans benches, tables, children’s furniture, sofas, and lighting, but they are most celebrated for its expertise in working with wood. Their iconic Aalto Stool 60, the Paimio Chair, and the 60 Stacking Chair are staples of modern design history. The Artek portfolio represents the most comprehensive collection of wooden design furniture in the world.
