Since the beginning of the 2000s, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec (born in 1971 & 1976) are considered to be amongst the best representative of French design’s dynamism and creativity. Working together since 1998, the two brothers worked for numerous manufacturers (Vitra, Cappelini, Kvadrat, etc.), while maintaining an experimental limited edition activity with Galerie kreo. Among their iconic pieces are the Disintegrated Kitchen (1997), the Closed Bed (1998), the Spring Chair (2000), and the Vegetal Chair (2009). They also worked with Issey Miyake, Camper, and Kvadrat for the creation of architectural projects.

Several monographic exhibitions have been devoted to them: Design Museum, London (2002), Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam and La Piscine, Musée d’Art et d’Industrie, Roubaix (2004), Villa Noailles, Hyeres (2008), Grand Hornu, Belgium (2009), a quadruple exhibition in Rennes (2016)… Their creations can be found in the collections of institutions 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 Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam.
