Ronan Bouroullec is a French designer born in Quimper (Brittany) in 1971.
He studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art at the age of 17. The following year he exhibited for the first time at the Salon du Meuble in Paris. This determined the beginning of his collaboration with French design companies, and during his time as a student numerous design projects took priority over his university work. He continued his studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. In 1996, his Soliflore Vase became part of the permanent collection of the Center Pompidou. In 1997, the Néotù gallery dedicated its first solo exhibition to him with Vase Combinatoires. Giulio Cappellini noticed his work at the Paris Furniture Salon, giving him the opportunity to create his first industrial design pieces, and he received the Grand Prize for Design from the City of Paris.
In 1998 Erwan joined him. A year later, Ronan Bouroullec received the New Designer Award from the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.
The designs of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec cover multiple fields of expression, from craftsmanship to mass production, and little by little they have been introduced into our daily lives.
