The Bouroullecs at Centre Pompidou Metz
There’s no way to escape duo’s in design, as proofs the DUO Special in tl.mag #11. The collaboration between the most famous brothers in contemporary design, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, will be highlighted from today onwards in an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. 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. Discover the Bouroullec universe through the ‘Cercles’ iPad application!
