Erwan Bouroullec chair and armchair

Erwan Bouroullec, in collaboration with his brother Ronan, is one of the most influential creators of contemporary design. For over two decades, chairs and armchairs designed by Erwan Bouroullec have embodied a sensitive, functional, and poetic vision of furniture. Renowned for their ability to combine formal simplicity, refined details, and technical innovation, Erwan Bouroullec’s chairs and armchairs stand out for their comfort, modularity, and strong visual identity. Whether in a residential or professional context, these seating pieces naturally find their place, bringing warmth, elegance, and modernity to all types of spaces. Designed in collaboration with prestigious design houses such as Vitra, Hay, Artek, and Magis, the creations of the Bouroullec brothers — with Erwan often leading technical and experimental development — reflect a demanding, environmentally conscious design approach focused on sustainability. Iconic models like the Belleville chair, the Softshell chair, the Slow Chair armchair, and the Palissade armchair perfectly illustrate this organic and functional philosophy. The shapes are often soft and enveloping, designed for everyday comfort while affirming a contemporary or even futuristic style. ---- Far from fleeting trends, Erwan Bouroullec’s designer seating is rooted in a long-term approach: creating useful, durable, and emotionally engaging objects. The materials are carefully selected — solid wood, polypropylene, aluminum, technical textiles, or felted wool — and the manufacturing processes emphasize quality, precision, and innovation. These chairs and armchairs are designed to stand the test of time, both aesthetically and structurally. Stackable, modular, ergonomic, some models are equally suitable for indoor and outdoor use, meeting today’s expectations for flexible living and working environments.
