it’s no secret that if there was a bouroullec brothers fan club, i would be the super geeky president. or at the very least, an enthusiastic secretary. i’ve been following their work since i first moved to new york and got to see their work through my job in pr and have been a mega-fan ever since. starting next month in marseille, ronan and erwan will be showing a selection of their furniture and decor designs in an apartment that is part of the le corbusier-designed “radiant city”. after being introduced to the apartment owners by jasper morrison, ronan and erwan worked to remodel the space in time for a summer display. the home isn’t intended as a museum, but rather as a space to see their work in a real-life (albeit a very chic, modern, and magazine-worthy real life) setting. the exhibition will be held from july 15th through august 15th, so if you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and stare for me. i can’t get enough of this duo’s work. click here for more info (downloadable pdf).

That’s a very interesting idea! Use a real live design portfolio. What better way to grasp the designer’s vision by actually seeing it!
Very nice indeed! I downloaded the pdf and will try and stalk for you!
great work, modern without being antiseptic. love that floor lamp!
thanks for sharing the file. the images are so fabulous. I wish I could reach out and touch the sheets. Those blue display cases are so inspiring.
Those blue cubby holes/display cases are super cool
I’ve only just recently been an admirer of their work after seeing them in “Objectified” … I believe they were working on the Steelwood chair in the flim! These installations are gorgeous… did they add the pops of color everywhere too?
Where can I find that desk?!
The building and colors remind me a lot of the brazilian house in Paris by Lucio Costa and Le Corbusier in 1959. see:
