Vitra Repad
Vitra developed Repad with the designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. It is not only suitable as a desk pad for assorted paper sizes, but also structures and defines the personal workspace as an underlay for a laptop or keyboard.
Repad is manufactured from bonded leather. For this recycled material, remnants from Vitra's furniture production are shredded and enriched with vegetable tanning agents, natural rubber, fats and water and then dried.
Repad has the pleasant feel of real leather and comes in five colours: a natural hue and four variants with a colour-coated finish. The palette is coordinated with the materials of the Joyn 2 office table system, but is also suited for use with any other table surface.

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.
