2.A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF

RONAN & ERWAN BOUROULLEC

1.PRESENTATION

OF THE EXHIBITION A fabulous Bivouac, staged across 1,000 square metres in Galerie 3 of the Centre Pompidou-Metz, this exhibition of works by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec sets out the result of almost fifteen years of mutual collaboration. Their first major solo show in France, Bivouac highlights an exceptional international career, during which the two brothers have worked with some of the greatest names in design, been crowned by numerous awards and the presence of their work in public collections.

Imagined as a temporary encampment - hence its name - Bivouac is deliberately divested of scenographic elements other than the Bouroullecs' work. Movement is imparted by contrasting scales, transparency and superpositions. Visitors are invited to wander around the gallery, moving between prototypes and finished objects, mass-produced and hand-crafted works. Bivouac highlights the immense diversity of these creations and economies achieved in production. It also addresses key concepts in the Bouroullecs' research: objects which are nomadic, ephemeral, modular, organic, flexible.

The exhibition is neither an inventory nor a retrospective of their work. Rather, it illustrates the current state of their designs and research, in constant evolution.

This first solo show at the Centre Pompidou-Metz gives pride of place to design as a fundamental and prolific discipline in contemporary creation, and an open field for research at the junction of experimentation and daily life. In keeping with the Centre Pompidou, it emphasises a determination to embrace "art in all its forms" so that visitors might discover a wide spectrum of creation

Ronan Bouroullec, born 1971 and a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1976 and a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts in Cergy-Pontoise, began working together in 1999.

Their designs are manufactured by such major names as Vitra, Magis, Alessi, Established & Sons, Axor Hansgrohe, Kartell, Kvadrat, Cappellini, Camper and Ligne Roset. Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are also involved in more experimental design with Galerie Kreo, and occasionally architectural projects.

Named Designers of the Year at the 2002 Paris Furniture Show and the 2011 Maison & Objet show, their other awards include the City of Paris Grand Prix du Design (1998), the New Designer Award at the New York International Contemporary Furniture Fair (1999) and the Copenhagen Finn Juhl Prize (2008). Their work has been shown in a number of solo shows, including at London's Design Museum (2002), the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Rotterdam's Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, La Piscine, Musée d'Art et d'Industrie in Roubaix (2004), Villa Noailles in Hyères (2008) and Le Grand Hornu, Belgium (2009).

Their work is part of the collections at institutions such as the Centre Pompidou - Musée National d'Art Moderne and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Design Museum, London, and the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam.

For the London Design Festival and in partnership with Kvadrat, their Textile Field installation is on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London from 15 to 25 September 2011.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec were also awarded this year’s commission to design a contemporary addition to the Gabriel staircase at Château de Versailles.

Within the space of a few years, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have constructed an edifice that towers over the landscape of international design. Since their earliest appearances in the late 1990s, their work has brought a new energy to design. At barely twenty years old, they were driven by a determination that few would expect in such young men.

As part of a generation that works under pressure from time, in constant demand for media projects and high-profile events, the Bouroullecs stand out for their long-term view. The consistency of the objects they produce reflects this extended vision. Partitioning, seats and objects occupy the long transparency of the gallery space, dividing, framing, qualifying, giving character. By questioning our everyday habits, the two brothers raise interesting possibilities as to modern lifestyles. Algues, for example, invites the user to organise their living space how they want, by building their own partitions irrespective of conventional architectural logic. The Bouroullecs create objects for a changing, flexible environment that echoes a peripatetic world. A world where nothing is set in stone. Ronan is captivated by nomadic peoples: "Arriving, leaving, simply, pragmatically. I like the softness of Berber tents, the carpets on the ground… These are practical, self-evident, subtly ergonomic solutions, and at the same time they create a backdrop, an atmosphere. They show respect for the environment, leave no trace. It's refined, light, humble."

This freedom is evident in the materials and textiles they choose. Erwan is fascinated by jersey fabrics that adapt to the body's curves without restricting movement. They used this type of ultra-stretch textile to cover Ploum, a sofa whose homogenous form blurs the transition between seat and back. Its comfort comes from a combination of soft memory foam and this highly elastic fabric. The result is a gentle, nest-like form.

Comfort is one of their foremost concerns; in their eyes a responsibility even. Slow Chair is characteristic of this belief. At first glance, this transparent chair suggests none of the comfort of a traditional leather or fabric armchair, Chesterfield or any other well-stuffed seat, and yet… As Erwan explains, "It has the bounce of a tennis racquet. The impression is more sports shoe than slipper! It's a slightly different comfort that will inspire an inevitably different and, I hope, modern behaviour." These references to sport in a domestic context reveal a sign of the times that also emerges in the growing popularity of sportswear which, thanks in part to technical fabrics, has brought a new brand of elegance and well-being to urban dress. This mix of genres – in this case by introducing a hint of sportswear to the home - is one of the brothers' favourite practices. Their work seeks out variety.

Both brothers are intent on making their contribution to diversity in the world, as this is precisely how the world grows. Hence they devote much of their energy to drawing out an object's singular nature, which they might call "fantasy," "surprise," or "astonishment." This form of difference is important, insists Ronan: "It's like meeting some amazing person." This singularity never occurs by chance; it is never a random attribution. It slowly hatches, emerging from a precise definition of the object and a careful balancing of its constituent parts. Through intense concentration, the two designers pinpoint this singularity which they then take to maturity. Their studio is a laboratory. They and their assistants shape, cut, glue, sew, draw, calculate. They make, undo, make again, putting what they have made to the test to take it further still. Adjusting, improving, perfecting. Every detail is the object of infinite attention. Potentially a process without end…

Algues

Algues is a system allowing the user to freely build more or less dense partitioning that can either filter light and insulate or instead loosely structure space, by assembling a module. The elemental pieces of this module, a sort of biomorphic pixel, are manufactured in a plastic injection mould from which identical pieces can be reproduced on a large scale. The Algues proliferate quasi organically, addressing architecture at the level of the millimetre.

Slow Chair

The specific properties of knitted textiles inspired the design of the Slow Chair. The designers intuitively felt that a knitted fabric could offer sufficient support while subtly adapting to the contours of the body. Two pieces were industrially manufactured that fulfilled these expectations. The seat and back form one knitted piece, stretched over a tubular frame, the feet attachments providing the piece’s rigidity. Here, form, material and function are interrelated.

North Tiles

Originally conceived for the Kvadrat showroom, the North Tile—like Algues and Nuages—is part of a larger reflection on lightweight options for partitioning spaces. In this example, the fabric “tiles” are formed into suspended partitions, somewhere between a wall and a screen, ensuring complete visual insulation and a muffled atmosphere. The tiles can be assembled by hand using a folding technique, enabling the user to create an endless amount of partitions of all sizes and colours.

Losanges

For Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Losanges was an opportunity to use the crafting techniques of the traditional Persian rug, called a kilim, which has always fascinated them. This four-piece collection was produced by carpet weavers from northern Pakistan who spin, dye and weave the wool used in Losanges by hand, bringing out the carpet’s unique colours. Thirteen colours are combined within the geometrical rhombus shape of the rug.

3.THE WORK OF

RONAN & ERWAN BOUROULLEC


06 07


NUAGESThe polystyrene Nuages, designed to create temporary configurations, are reminiscent of a construction set. They interlock organically like “a growing plant, persistently reproducing its articulating nodes”(1). The piece is easy to install, without the need for a set plan or particular skills. Nuages make it possible to intuitively and dynamically partition a space, guided simply by one’s imagination.

(1) Phaidon, 2004.

ALCOVE COLLECTIONThe Alcove collection features an unusually high backrest, allowing the user to withdraw physically and psychologically from surrounding activity. The collection’s comfortable contours introduce new ways to occupy a room. Easy to install, match and move around, these sofas represent an island of calm, a place to relax or enjoy a private conversation, especially in collective environments such as work spaces.

CLOUDSClouds is a fabric-based modular system. With these foam and cloth petals combined with elastic bands, the user can build threedimensional volumes to be suspended in a room or hung on the wall. Similarly to a living organism, Clouds creates surfaces that are both even and chaotic, able to evolve according to user-defined geometries. The system’s infinite possibilities offer complete freedom in creating customized pieces.

OVALE COLLECTIONOvale Collection: the name is misleading, since none of the pièces is perfectly oval-shaped. Though based on the same principle, each piece is slightly different. These containers were not designed for a unique, fixed use or a specific culture; rather, they feature interchangeable and universal shapes. Their familiar appearance and versatility place Ovale within the simplicity of everyday life.

LIANESSpaces such as Galerie Kreo represent an alternative to the constraints of industrial manufacturing by making possible the production of a limited number of experimental objects. Lianes lamps are completely sheathed in leather, concealing the technical aspects behind a natural material and an unusual shape. The sewing technique and the length of cable leave room for a certain amount of adjustment, offering the user a great degree of freedom in their use and composition.

JOYN OFFICE SYSTEMJoyn Office System started off the collaboration between the designers and Swiss manufacturer Vitra. With this first piece of office furniture, they wished to create a common platform for work spaces. Their proposition is both universal and streamlined: a collection of vast, shared tables large enough to accommodate several people, without hierarchical markers. A series of accessories characterized by pure contours enable the user to adapt the table to his needs.

PLOUMThe Ploum sofa is an exercise in comfort and combines two materials: stretch-fabric upholstery and ultra-flexible resilient foam. The shape and proportions were specially studied to allow the body to recline in many different positions on the sofa’s supple, quilted surface without edges. According to the designers, "the use of a stretch fabric is symbolic of our contemporary lifestyles, in which versatility and comfort seem to us to be essential."

8.PARTNERS

The Centre Pompidou-Metz is the first offshoot of a French cultural institution, the Centre Pompidou, developed in collaboration with a regional authority, the Communauté d'Agglomération Metz Métropole (the combined district council for the Greater Metz area).

Greater Metz was the contracting authority for the project and provided the majority of funding, in association with the City of Metz (agent) and the Centre Pompidou. Construction of the Centre Pompidou-Metz also received funding from the Conseil Général de la Moselle, the Conseil Régional de Lorraine, the French State and the European Union (European Regional Development Fund – ERDF).

The Centre Pompidou-Metz is an Établissement Public de Coopération Culturelle (public establishment for cultural cooperation) whose founding members are the French State, the Centre Pompidou, the Lorraine Region, Communauté d’Agglomération de Metz Métropole and the City of Metz.

The Centre Pompidou-Metz would like to thank all its partners for their essential contribution to the staging of its exhibitions.

We would also like to thank the following companies for their support:Mutina, Dinesen, Tecsom, Crea Diffusion, Apple, Vitra, Kvadrat, Magis, Axor, Alessi.

The exhibition preview was made possible with the participation of: Vranken-Pommery Monopole, Les Tables de Rabelais, Tourism Office in Metz and Lycée Hôtelier Raymond Mondon.

Founding Sponsor

Wendel - Founding Sponsor of the Centre Pompidou-Metz

"A Founding Sponsor since 2010, Wendel is extremely proud to pledge its five-year commitment to the Centre Pompidou-Metz, an initiative which will enable the company to support a flagship project for the Lorraine region, birthplace of the Group and its founding families. We wanted this partnership to adhere to our corporate values of long-term investing, which is a synonym for loyalty and solidarity in our commitments, innovation, which we believe is key to creating not only economic value but also human and artistic activities, and the ambition to step up our international influence in a French region located in the heart of Europe," highlighted Frédéric Lemoine, Chairman of Wendel’s Executive Board, and Ernest-Antoine Seillière, Chairman of the Friends of the Wendel Foundation and a benefactor of the Centre Pompidou-Metz.

Wendel is one of the leading investment companies in Europe, acting as an investor and professional shareholder, promoting the long-term development of companies which are leaders in their sectors: Bureau Veritas, Legrand, Saint-Gobain, Materis, Deutsch, Stahl and Mecatherm.

Founded in 1704 in Lorraine, Wendel Group was committed to the development of the steel industry in France before diversifying its businesses in the late 1970s.

The Group is supported by its reference family shareholder, made up of more than one thousand individual Wendel family shareholders, who are united in the family company Wendel-Participations, which owns 35% of Wendel.

9.VISITOR INFORMATION

RONAN & ERWAN BOUROULLEC, BIVOUACOpen to the public 7 October 2011 – 30 July 2012

On 17 March 2011, the PSA Peugeot Citroën sites in Metz and Trémery signed a three-year partnership agreement with the Centre Pompidou-Metz.

The Metz and Trémery sites wish to support the Centre Pompidou-Metz and join local authorities, the Lorraine Region, the City of Metz, and the combined district council for the Greater Metz area in making contemporary art available to all.

This partnership reflects PSA Peugeot Citroën's involvement in its local environment, and contributes to the Group's ambition for responsible development by playing a role within the community.

With over 6,000 employees, the sites in Metz (gearbox manufacture) and Trémery (engine manufacture) are an important part of the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group's industrial platform.

The Metz and Trémery sites opened in Lorraine in 1969 and 1979 respectively. Through them, the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group is the region's biggest private-sector employer. They are proudly rooted in the region's society, economy and industry.

Boasting two world-class brands - Peugeot and Citroën - the Group sold 3.6 million vehicles worldwide in 2010, with almost 40% of sales outside Europe. As the second-biggest European auto maker, in 2010 it generated revenues of €56.1 billion.

PSA Peugeot Citroën has operations in 160 countries and employs 198,000 people worldwide. In 2010 it invested €2.1 billion in R&D, with particular emphasis on new energies. The Group's activities extend to financing (Banque PSA Finance), logistics (Gefco) and automotive equipment (Faurecia).
