Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec (b. 1971 and 1976) are French designers who began working together in 1998 after completing their studies at École supérieure des Arts décoratifs in Paris and École nationale supérieure des Arts in Cergy. The brothers have worked with a number of companies including Alessi, Kartell and Vitra.

The 2018 ECAL Digital Market saw the creation of 45 3D printed objects by Product Design master’s students from Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL) and ECAL-related designers (faculty members and alumni). A range of innovative everyday objects were presented at Milan Design Week at the Spazio Orso 16, a 17th century Milanese palazzo, which had been turned into a production site and retail shop. The project investigated the possibilities of production on demand, emphasising how fast turnover within the design industry could become, and experimenting with new design details that are too intricate to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques.
