Ivy

The shape of the Nuage vases made its first appearance in the oeuvre of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2002. Reminiscent of a cloud, the motif was originally produced as a plastic shelf module that can be grouped into clusters or large-scale configurations. Eight tubular cavities pierce the flat surfaces of the modular element while also defining the form's outer contours. Over the years, the Bouroullec brothers have varied this shape and repeatedly incorporated it in their graphic work.

For the Nuage vase, the designers executed the cloud motif in extruded aluminium profiles of varying lengths. The cavities in the basic form are now positioned upright, dividing the vase into eight individual tubes that can be used for the artful arrangement of flowers and grasses. The undulating surfaces, with an anodised finish in various colours, produce an attractive interplay of light and shadow. Thanks to their precise outer contours, the vases can be fitted together to create entire 'cloud formations'.

The Nuages vases are made of coloured, anodised aluminium or ceramic and come in several different sizes.

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.
