Vitra L'Oiseau - Wood
L'Oiseau - Wood by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra
Milled from natural maple and sanded smooth, the wooden L'Oiseau figure recalls the clarity of wood objects in Nordic folk art. The L'Oiseau wooden bird adds an appealing touch to modern interiors without becoming cute or kitschy like many other animal figures.
Natural motifs have played an important role in interior decoration since the earliest known examples, and are also reflected in the work of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
Designers: Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Manufacturer: Vitra
Dimensions: 2.25"w | 9.75"d | 6"h
Vitra
Founded in 1950, Vitra is a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design.
Vitra's furniture and concepts are developed in an intensive design process pairing engineering excellence with the creative genius of leading international designers. The result: interiors, furniture and accessories that are vibrant, functional, and inspiring.
Longevity of materials, construction and aesthetics are Vitra's leading principles, as demonstrated by their Classics – many in continuous production since the 1950s. Initiatives like the Vitra Campus architecture, the Vitra Design Museum, workshops, publications, collections and archives are all integral elements of Vitra's vision and culture.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1971 and 1976, respectively, in Quimper, France, studied at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Ronan began independent design work immediately after completing his studies, while his brother, who was still in school, assisted him.
Since 1999 both brothers have worked together as joint partners in their own design firm. Their work ranges from small utilitarian objects to architectural projects. In addition to the design of domestic and office furniture, vases, porcelain dishware, jewellery and diverse home accessories, a primary focus of their work is the design and organisation of interior spaces.
One of their most unconventional designs, Algues (2004), was created in this context. The collaboration between the Bouroullec brothers and Vitra began in 2000 with the office furniture system Joyn, which was developed between 2000-02 and is continually being refined and expanded.
Along with Jasper Morrison and Hella Jongerius, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have made major contributions to the steadily growing Vitra Home Collection.
