Palissade Stool
Designed by French brothers Ronan and Erwan
Bouroullec, Palissade is a collection of outdoor furniture for HAY in powder
coated or hot galvanised steel. United by a common principle of symmetrical
geometry, the Palissade collection is engineered to reproduce the same visual
simplicity and core strength throughout. Designed in colour and form to
integrate effortlessly into a natural landscape or urban setting, Palissade is
intended to be used over a longer period of time and become more beautiful over
the years. The collection is suited to a wide variety of environments, from
cafés and restaurants to gardens, terraces and balconies.

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. |
