Palissade Table
- Description
- Designer Bio
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. |
