Bouroullec brothers

“The « Butterflies » are large painted boxes. They become wardrobes, shelves, a storage space. In a single colour, they first of all try not to evoke materials that would confine them to one particular purpose or another and they also set out to be a mere support when, after a few years, they are filled with objects.“
Extracts from the book “ Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec” released by Phaidon in 2003.
