Ronan Bouroullec is a French artist and designer, born in 1971 in Quimper. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD), he founded his own studio in 1995. His work blends craftsmanship and industrial production, characterized by simplicity and sophistication, and spans various fields, including furniture, lighting, interior design, and public space projects. For nearly thirty years, he has collaborated with international editors while also teaching at ECAL. Alongside his design practice, drawing, an activity he has pursued since childhood, holds a central place in his daily life. He has been the subject of several monographic exhibitions presented in prestigious international museums. His creations and drawings are held in major museum collections worldwide, including MoMA in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In spring 2024, the Centre Pompidou in Paris presented an exhibition dedicated to him, celebrating his significant donation to the museum.
