The French designers are known for their creative and sculptural approach to design. The two brothers have worked together for several decades, gaining international recognition from their design studio located in Paris. Ronan promptly started his own design work after completing his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Erwan supported him throughout finishing his studies. After their collaboration in the late 1990s their work really began to take off. Their designs often combine simplicity, elegance, functionality whilst also exploring materials and different forms. One of the consistent themes present in their work is modularity. Allowing for their work to be customised and rearranged gives an opportunity for personal expression, making the pieces more individual and unique. Their partnerships with high end manufacturers such as Vitra, HAY, Alessi and Kvadrat has helped them accomplish production on a global level making them renowned designers.
One of their most well known pieces is “Algues” the design is a modular system where the system of plastic elements can be combined into sculptural or functional installations. It is one of the most prominent pieces in contemporary design due to its flexibility and organic forms.
Their Palissade range of metal outdoor furniture for HAY is massive commercial success and each year this stunning collection grows in popularity.
