Ronan Bouroullec
Born in 1976 in Quimper, France
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s creations are driven by their particular sensitivity to space and its arrangement. “We have always felt that furniture could help define space,” said Erwan Bouroullec in 2008. They go against the grain of trends to capture the essence of objects. Their creative process draws on common cultural memory and aims to situate the contemporary in a longer-term timescale. To this end, the duo engages in constant confrontation in order to develop their ideas and draw inspiration from new locations as commissions take shape with a range of different materials. Their creativity is also expressed in their research activities and architectural projects.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec were born in 1971 and 1976 respectively in Quimper. Ronan graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 1995, and Erwan from the École nationale supérieure d’arts de Paris-Cergy in 1998. They have worked together since 1999. They live and work in Paris.
