Ronan Bouroullec

Ronan Bouroul­lec (b. 1971, Quimper, France) is a glob­ally renowned designer cele­brated for his refined, poetic approach to design. A grad­u­ate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art, he first gained recog­ni­tion in 1996 when his Vase Soliflore entered the Centre Pompidou’s perma­nent collec­tion. In 1999, he co-founded Bouroul­lec Studio in Paris with his brother Erwan, marking the begin­ning of their exten­sive collab­o­ra­tions with leading global brands.

From furni­ture and textiles to archi­tec­tural instal­la­tions, Bouroullec’s work embod­ies simplic­ity, balance, and metic­u­lous crafts­man­ship. He has main­tained a long­stand­ing part­ner­ship with Kvadrat, design­ing show­rooms, textiles, and modular wall systems. Beyond indus­trial design, Ronan is deeply commit­ted to drawing, an intu­itive prac­tice he has pursued since child­hood. His artworks have been exhib­ited at the Art Insti­tute of Chicago, Cooper-Hewitt Smith­son­ian Design Museum, and Galerie Kreo, among others, reflect­ing his distinc­tive artistic sensibility.
