Bouroullec

Ronan Bouroullec and Erwan Bouroullec are a French design duo known collectively as Bouroullec. They studied at the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI) in Paris, and began collaborating in the 1990s. They established the Bouroullec design studio in 1999, based in Paris, where they create furniture, lighting and interior installations for international manufacturers. Their work emphasizes a balance between form, function and tactility, often incorporating craft techniques with industrial production.

The brothers have produced a broad body of work for brands such as Vitra, Cappellini and Magis, as well as smaller studios and institutions. Their designs are noted for sculptural, organic shapes, modularity, and a patient, almost architectural approach to space. They frequently experiment with color, material contrasts and flexible configurations, aiming to enhance daily life in homes, workplaces and public interiors.

Bouroullec projects have achieved international recognition and have been shown in museums and design fairs worldwide. Their work is represented in permanent collections and they have published monographs and participated in major exhibitions that survey contemporary design practice.
