This is the first book to present the work of the designers Ronan (b.1971) and Erwan Bouroullec (b.1976), the rising stars of international design and the most promising international designers to have emerged from France since the legendary Phillippe Starck in the 1980s.

Despite their youth, the Bouroullecs have already realized a wide range of products - from furniture to jewellery, lighting to interiors - for leading companies such as Cappellini, Vitra and Issey Miyake. This book, conceived and designed by the brothers themselves, displays the freshness, refinement and elegance of all their products. A fascinating collection of the images, showcasing their products and working practices, it also includes texts by leading design entrepreneurs Rolf Fehlbaum, Giulio Cappellini and Issey Miyake.
