Palissade Chaise Longue
Designed by
French duo Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Palissade Chaise Longue features a
curved frame that contours to your body, creating a relaxed and comfortable
reclining position. The elegant design is united by the same symmetrical
geometry and graphic idiom as the rest of the Palissade series, engineered to
reproduce the same visual simplicity that allows it to integrate effortlessly
into a natural landscape or urban setting. Specifically designed for outdoor
use, the powder-coated steel has a protective outdoor primer for optimal
durability and resilience: this makes it last for a longer period of time and
become more beautiful over the years. The Chaise Longue is available in
selected colours, and is ideal for terraces, balconies, gardens, and public
spaces.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec |
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1971 and 1976,
respectively, in Quimper, France, studied at the École Nationale des Arts
Décoratifs in Paris and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Ronan
began independent design work immediately after completing his studies, while
his brother, who was still in school, assisted him. Since 1999 both brothers have worked together as joint
partners in their own Paris-based design studio. Their work ranges from small
utilitarian objects to architectural projects. In addition to the design of
domestic and office furniture, vases, porcelain dishware, jewellery and diverse
home accessories, a primary focus of their work is the design and organisation
of interior space. One of their most unconventional designs, Algue
(2004), was created in this context. The collaboration between the Bouroullec
brothers and Vitra began with the office furniture system Joyn, which was
developed between 2000 and 2002 and continues to be expanded and refined. Along
with Jasper Morrison, Hella Jongerius, and Antonio Citterio, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have made major contributions to
the steadily growing Vitra Home Collection. |
