COL REB 05
Designed in 1999 by Ronan Bouroullec this vase belongs to the Torique collection, produced in Vallauris. Its low, circular form is based on two concentric walls: one defines the outer volume, while the other encloses a central cavity. The white body contrasts with a vivid orange inner ring, whose glossy glaze emphasises the object’s thickness and depth.
Made by master potter Claude Aïello, the piece was hand-thrown in white clay. The separate elements were assembled, dried, fired and then partially glazed. The double-wall construction required considerable technical skill to preserve the regularity of the forms.
Its value lies in this complex construction, its artisanal production and its manufacture as a prototype. Works from the Torique collection are held by the Centre national des arts plastiques and the Musée de la Céramique in Vallauris.

Ronan 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.
