Architects of space

Wednesday, March 11, 2009





Ronan Bouroullec (born 1971) and Erwan Bouroullec (born 1976) have been working together for some ten years. Their collaboration is a permanent dialogue nourished by their differing personalities and shared perfectionism.

Today, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design for numerous manufacturers, notably Vitra, Kvadrat, Magis, Kartell, Ligne Roset, Issey Miyake and Cappellini. At the same time, they maintain an experimental activity which is essential to the development of their work at Galerie Kreo, Paris, where four exhibitions of their designs have been held between 2001 and 2008. They also undertake the occasional architectural project, such as the Maison flottante (Floating House) in 2006.

Several exhibitions have been devoted to their work, notably at the Design Museum, London, in 2002, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, and La Piscine, Musée d’Art et d’Industrie, Roubaix, in 2004. It can be found in the collections museum such as the Musée National d’Art Moderne – Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Design Museum, London, and the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam.






I really adore their work, especially two chairs that I hope I'll be able to buy one day...
The last two videos are fun to watch...
