As one half of the renowned Bouroullec brothers, artist, designer and tech subverter Erwan Bouroullec's work bridges both art and design.

Blurring the boundaries between art and coding, Erwan Bouroullec (born in Quimper, 1976) uses computer algorithms, rules, determinacy and coincidence. His diverse practice has become increasingly interested in coding and computer algorithms to create unique digital drawings.

Known for his work in furniture and lighting design with his brother Ronan, they set-up their Paris design studio in 1999. Described by The New York Times as “representing poetic practicality”, the brothers’ creations span multiple fields of expression: bridging art and design, passing through craftsmanship, furniture and architecture.
