R + E BOUROULLEC

  

I promised more goodies from my trip to MOMA and I back to fulfill that promise.  Open your eyes to the glory that is Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec: 30-something brothers from France who have come up with some kick-ass design concoctions.  MOMA has the three above pieces in their collection (top to bottom): North Tiles (Foamcore tiles laminated with wool fabric interlock and form moveable room dividers that both add an explosion of color and muffle sound), Algues (seen here at MOMA and via the Bouroullec portfolio; these are made from injected polyamide hitch together in a myriad of ways to form a leafy, ethereal wall, with each individual piece measuring about 7" x 5") and Cloud (a room divider/shelving unit that can stack and join together to billow across a room, "Cloud" is made out of polystyrene).  Cool right?  You can find more on these french fellows at their website here.
