"a trove of elegant images hand-rendered in felt-tipped pen, pencil and ballpoint pen that reveals the designers’ creative and poetic way of working and thinking"
Published by JRP|Ringier Edited and with text by Cornel Windlin.
This volume unveils a little-known side of the daily studio work of acclaimed designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec (born 1971 and 1976): their drawing. Printed on newsprint and gorgeously designed, this chunky book has been put together from a volume of sketchbooks and drawings realized between 2004 and 2012, totaling more than 850 color and black-and-white works. Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have worked together since 1998 for numerous manufacturers, among them Vitra and Cappellini. Among their iconic pieces are the “Disintegrated Kitchen” (1997), the “Spring Chair” (2000), and, more recently, the “Vegetal Chair” (2009). They have also worked with Issey Miyake, Camper and Kvadrat on architectural projects. Drawing is published on the occasion of several exhibitions of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec designs, including their retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Azure
David Dick-Agnew
In this beautiful book, product and furniture designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec present an assortment of works on paper – everything from doodles and diagrams that explore form and texture to drawings that seek to solve technical problems and cost calculations. Even the latter are wonderfully illustrated.

For the Bouroullec brothers, sketching isn't just a part of the process of bringing industrial design to life; the profilic French duo are artists in their own right, with major museum exhibits to prove it. This tome catalogues more than 850 of their beautifully abstract doodles, collected from scraps of paper and notebooks they carefully archived between 2004 and 2012.
Featured image is an untitled drawing by the influential designers (and brothers) Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, whose work is currently the subject of a 15 year retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It is reproduced from Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec: Drawing, JRP|Ringier's, 868 page, telephone-book-like volume designed by Cornel Windlin, who writes, "They are dreamers, and they dream a beautiful dream – full of odd characters, surprises, inventions, ideas, sudden detours and U-turns, aesthetic jump-cuts, gentle development, manic repetition, obsessive refinement, but also full of poetry, unspoiled optimism, warmth, tenderness, and generosity." continue to blog
