Behind the scenes with the Bouroullec Brothers

One of our favourite experiences at the recent London Design Festival was lounging around on the The Bouroullec Brothers’ Textile Field. We weren’t alone and the installation has inspired a number of videos - one from our friends at Kvadrat who created the fabric strips which made the installation such a hit. You can view their behind the scenes footage shot while setting up above. 

If that’s whetted your appetite for all things Bouroullec you’ll be pleased to hear the brothers have a major retrospective opening at the Shiguru Ban-designed Centre Pompidou-Metz, in Lorraine, France this Friday.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Bivouac is curated by Hélène Guenin, deputy–director of the Programme Pole at Centre Pompidou-Metz, and Laurent Le Bon, director of the institution. More than 1,000m2 will be dedicated to works, research and models by the Brittany-born designers.

Meanwhile, Ronan and Erwan have found time inbetween all this activity to finish their second book for Phaidon. It’s out in the New Year and you can pre-order it here as well as buy their first while stocks last here.
