Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in conversation with Christopher Turner
This year, French designers Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec exhibit a new innovative concept for modern living designed for Samsung at Somerset House. They will talk about this project, their methodology and 20-year career designing for Vitra, Magis, Kvadrat, Flos and Cappellini, amongst others.
Their work has covered many fields ranging from the design of small objects as jewellery to spatial arrangements and architecture, from craftsmanship to industrial scale, from drawings to videos and photography.
Designs of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are part of select international museums’ permanent collections and several exhibitions have been devoted to their work including the Design Museum, London, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Centre Pompidou Metz, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
During last year’s Festival, the brothers were the recipients of the prestigious London Design Medal.
