COL REB 02
Designed in 2001 by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and made in France by Coromandel, the Centerpiece consists of two circular steel trays, superimposed and slightly offset. Their shallow profile and subtle curvature create the impression of a floating disc. Gradations of blue, violet and green animate the surface and alter the perception of depth according to the viewing angle and the light.
The automotive steel is cut, shaped and then coated with paint applied in progressive transitions, using a process related to car-body finishing techniques. The smooth, luminous surface transforms a functional object into an almost immaterial chromatic composition.
Its value lies in the precision of its manufacture and its highly limited edition of twenty examples and one artist’s proof.
Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec
Ronan Bouroullec and Erwan Bouroullec occupy a major place in the history of contemporary design. Since the late 1990s, their practice has ranged from furniture to lighting, from objects to installations, as well as interior design and drawing, which they approach as a field of research in its own right. Their work is distinguished by a reflection on systems, modularity, and the relationships between object, space, and user, combining technical innovation, structural rigor, and economy of means. Through their collaborations with leading international publishers, they have made a profound contribution to the renewal of French design on the international stage. Their works are included in the permanent collections of the most important institutions dedicated to art, design, and architecture, and are regularly the subject of solo exhibitions.
