Ronan Bouroullec: A Portrait
Born in 1971 in Quimper, Brittany, Ronan Bouroullec has etched his mark on the design world over the past two decades. His journey includes a significant early project in 2000 with his brother, where they designed the interiors for the A-POC store, part of the ISSEY MIYAKE empire. Bouroullec’s collaborations span furniture, lighting, urban projects, and installations, with his works held in high esteem across museums and design institutions globally. Drawing remains a daily ritual for him, a wellspring of inspiration that enriches his diverse design practice and now, in turn, infuses this latest fashion venture with a distinct, artistic narrative.
