Natural Maple
Natural themes have played a critical role since the earliest known interiors, and are also reflected in the work of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Shaped from maple wood and gently smoothed, "L'Oiseau" conjures the clarity of the wooden objects of Nordic folk art. "L'Oiseau" adds a sympathetic note to modern interiors without being at all cutesy or kitschy like many other animal figures.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Ronan Bouroullec and Erwan Bouroullec have been working together for 10 years, their collaboration a permanent dialogue nourished by their differing personalities and shared perfectionism. Based in Paris and both graduates of architecture, in 1997 they were spotted by Giulio Cappellini, who gave them their first industrial design projects, notably the Closed Bed and Spring Chair. In 2000, Issey Miyake asked them to design a space for his new collection of A- Poc clothes in Paris. Then came the decisive meeting with Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of Vitra, which resulted in their conception of a new kind of office system, Joyn, in 2002. This was the beginning of a special partnership which has resulted in numerous projects including Algues, the Alcove Sofa, the Worknest and the Slow Chair. Since 2004, the Bouroullecs have also been working with Magis, for whom they have designed two complete furniture collections, Striped and Steelwood. Today, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design for numerous manufacturers, notably Kvadrat, Magis, Kartell, Ligne Roset, Issey Miyake, Cappellini and Vitra.
