Furniture design, do brothers do it better?

 Our archives cover a broad range of style and design. We decided to look at our furniture archive today and picked out a couple of designers that we really admire. Let us know what you think...



Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec 
1971, 1976 are a french design team from Brittany.
They started in 1997 when they presented their Disintegrated Kitchen at the Paris Furniture Fair and were spotted by Giulio Cappellini, who gave them their first industrial design projects.
Since then they’ve worked with numerous manufacturers including Vitra, Ligne Roset and Issey Miyake. The pair produces experimental work, of which there have been four exhibitions at Galerie Kreo, Paris, since 2001. They also undertake occasional architectural projects. The brothers are winners of numerous awards and have published two monographs about their design work.
