Ronan Bouroullec

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are two French designer brothers. Originally from Brittany, they eventually settled in Paris "to work together. Their collaboration began in 1998. Ronan graduated from the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, while Erwan attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts in Cergy.
While the Bouroullec brothers' collaborative designs involve a rigorous and complex research and testing process, Ronan Bouroullec’s personal work offers no interference, no plan.
Having grown up in the countryside, Ronan Bouroullec began drawing as an escape, a source of pure pleasure, explaining: "...drawing became for me what is called in French a companion, a kind of friend."
Today, his drawings are instinctive rather than intellectualized, retaining a sense of whimsical naivety - and exuding freedom.
Ronan Bouroullec’s drawings have been featured in numerous solo exhibitions including Giorgio Mastinu Fine Art (Venice, 2018), Galerie kreo (Paris, 2019), Licht Gallery (Tokyo, 2021) and Casa Mutina (Milan, 2021-2022) - as well as group exhibitions such as "Objects of Desire - Surrealism and Design 1924-Today", (Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany, 2019; CaixaForum Barcelona, Spain, 2020; CaixaForum Madrid, Spain, 2020-2021) and "Un printemps incertain, invitation à 40 créateurs" (Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, 2021).
His drawings are found in several major private and international collections, notably the Art Institute of Chicago. Ronan Bouroullec is represented by Galerie kreo, in Paris and London.
