The Bouroullecs' tour de force

last updated 7 September 2022

Winning one Design Award is cause for celebration, but two? Few can claim that honour. Among the Design Awards 2016's lucky winners are double champions: Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. In honour of their dual victory (they claimed both the Designer of the Year and Best Domestic Design titles in our extra-special Judges' Awards) we visited the Breton brothers' Paris studio for a unique insight into their vision and process.
