Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are two brothers and designers, with a collaboration founded on aptitude, brilliance, diligence and creative skill. Based in Paris, Ronan (born in 1971) and Erwan (born in 1976) were picked out by Italian design company Cappellini in 1997, and given their first industrial design projects. Cappellini describe the brothers as: ‘bold and reflective while simultaneously poetic and passionate’. Cementing their design partnership in 1999, the Bouroullecs went on to work with Issey Miyake, designing a boutique to house the designer’s ‘A-POC’?’A Piece of Cloth’? collection.Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

The Bouroullecs have also made a significant contribution to Vitra’s growing home collection.Selected worksConsole with mirrorThe ‘console with mirror’ was designed in 2001 for Cappellini.
