DESIGN DAD: Designer: Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have been designing together for about a decade, in that time they've developed quite the reputation for putting out consistently interesting and beautiful work. They have had their work showcased in multiple museum exhibitions, have many designs available with some of the top manufacturers, and have quite a tidy collection of awards.

I first came across their work while I was studying for my Masters in Architecture at Dalhousie, I was investigating 3dimentional geometric patterns and found their Clouds, a modular textile wall system. Gorgeous. Intrigued, I looked up more of their work, saw they were not just flash in the pan designers, and have been following their work ever since. Below you'll find a cross selection of several of my favorites of their projects. They have a fair bit of furniture out, which are rather nice, but being the 'architect' I'm more intrigued by their larger partition/screen systems which are beautiful. Enjoy!
