Erwan Bouroullec

           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.

           Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec have co-created iconic designs for the likes of Vitra, Hay, Flos, Cassina, Ligne Roset, Magis, Mutina, Established & Sons and Kvadrat. Their designs are held in some of the world’s most coveted permanent collections, exhibitions have been devoted to their work, and monographs have been published, cataloguing some of their outstanding creations.

           In recent years, the duo have expanded their repertoire into the public realm, bringing modern relevance to historic sites such as Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection (Paris, 2021) and the Champs-Elysées fountains (Paris, 2019). Erwan and Ronan’s collaboration is an ongoing dialogue, nourished by distinct personalities and their individual artistic experimentation.
