Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec were born in Quimper, Brittany, in 1971 and 1976 respectively. After graduating from the École Nationale de Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Ronan began working independently, assisted by his brother Erwan, who was studying at the École de Beaux Arts in Cergy Pontoise.
The brothers have worked together since 1999, and their works are constant dialogues between two different personalities, united by common goals. The Bouroullec brothers work with various prestigious furniture manufacturers, including Vitra, Cappellini, Issey Miyake, and Habitat. At the same time, they have developed other projects such as the Floating House, an artist’s studio commissioned by the Chateau Art Center and designed in collaboration with architects Denis Daversin and Jean Marie Finot.
They were named Creators of the Year at the Paris Furniture Fair. They have won several international awards, including the New Designer Award at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, the Grand Prix in Paris, and first prize at the Biennial Fair in Saint-Étienne. In 2003, they were named Designers of the Year by Elle Decoration Japan.
