Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are brothers and designers who have been working together for about fifteen years bonded by diligence and challenged by their distinct personalities. Their studio is based in Paris. In 1997, they were spotted by Cappellini, giving them their first industrial design projects. They began working with the Galerie Kreo in 2000 and had their first solo show there in 2001. Issey Miyake then hired them to design the boutique to house his new collection « A-Poc ». They met then Rolf Felhbaum, President of Vitra, and worked on a new office system entitled Joyn. Since then, they have gone on to work with Alessi, Axor Hansgrohe, Cappellini, Established & Sons, Flos, Hay, Kvadrat, Kartell, Ligne Roset, Magis, Mattiazzi, Mutina, Nani Marquina and Vitra.

From designing spaces to furniture to accessories, taking on architectural projects to designing textile wall systems or comprehensive collections, the designers maintain experimental activity with Gallery Kreo, which is also essential to the development of their work.

Designs of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are part of select international museums’ permanent collections such as the Musée National d’Art Moderne – Centre Pompidou and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Design Museum in London, and the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
