Ronan Bouroullec (born in 1971 in Quimper) is a French designer. Since the early 2000s, Ronan Bouroullec has been creating unique objects in collaboration with the most prestigious international design manufacturers. His work ranges from craftsmanship to mass production and includes permanent installations in public spaces. Alongside his design practice, drawing occupies a very important place in his daily life. His works are regularly exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, notably at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the MoMA in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His designs and drawings have become part of major international public and private collections, most recently including some thirty works at the Centre Pompidou.

Ronan Bouroullec, an internationally renowned French designer, practices drawing daily as a pure artistic activity, independent of his profession.
For Ronan Bouroullec, drawing is a relaxing, even meditative process, where he gives free rein to his intuition and creativity without planning forms in advance. Thus, the shapes are not defined by a precise beginning or end, which can lead to multiple interpretations.
Ronan Bouroullec considers drawing essential to his balance. The book Fièvre accompanies the exhibition "Daily Drawings" at the Hôtel des Arts TPM in Toulon. With nearly 300 works (drawings, bas-reliefs, and notebooks) presented, it reveals a small, still little-known part of his creative talent. A tiny fraction compared to the thousands of drawings he keeps, but rich enough to shed light on this very intimate facet of the personality of one of the most talented French designers of his generation.
