Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
About this book
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is a designer monograph for industrial design students and readers interested in furniture, objects, and contemporary product design. Published by Phaidon in 2012, this 304-page English-language volume focuses on the work of the French design duo. It offers a useful point of entry for considering how a design practice addresses objects across different settings, and how visual character relates to intended use. Students looking at furniture and product design together can use the book to think about scale, the relationship between an object and its surroundings, and the experience of people who use it.

The work provides material for comparing forms, structures, and choices of materials across projects, while encouraging attention to the needs each design addresses. Such comparisons are valuable in industrial design study because they connect a finished object to context and decision-making rather than appearance alone. Readers can use the monograph for precedent research, visual analysis, and discussion of how projects develop within a shared practice. It can also support coursework that asks students to describe design references and explain their relevance to a new brief. As a university reading list resource, it gives students practical examples for building a visual vocabulary and evaluating furniture, domestic objects, and product design in a considered way.
