Brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are world leaders in contemporary design. This French duo began their creative collaboration in the 1990s and have since revolutionized design with works that combine functionality and poetry. Their creations, marked by elegant forms and a deep connection with the environment, stand out for their simplicity and the integration of natural and urban elements. The Bouroullecs have collaborated with major brands such as Vitra, Kartell and Hay, building an internationally recognized career.
At Vitra Campus, located in Weil am Rhein, on the border between Germany and Switzerland, the brothers present their works: Ring and Ruisseau. These pieces reflect the designers’ unique vision of the relationship between man, design and nature.
Vitra Campus: An Open-Air Gallery of Design and Architecture
The Vitra Campus is one of the most fascinating destinations for those who love contemporary art, design and architecture. The Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra has transformed its production space into a true open-air museum, with works and buildings designed by great names in world design and architecture.
Among the most recent additions are the Ring and Ruisseau works by designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, which add a touch of poetry to the visitor experience. The campus is a unique combination of innovation, creativity and connection with nature, attracting tourists from all over the world.
Ring and Ruisseau: The Poetic Design of the Bouroullec
Ring is a circular stainless steel bench that surrounds a cherry tree. This design symbolizes the connection between man and nature, creating a space for contemplation that combines simplicity and beauty.
Ruisseau, on the other hand, is a water channel carved from marble that invites visitors to reflect on the flow of nature. It is a work that translates natural softness and fluidity into a striking yet minimalist structure.
These works highlight the Bouroullec signature, which seeks to integrate functional design into the natural environment, promoting harmonious coexistence between people and the spaces they inhabit.
Why Visit Vitra Campus?
The Vitra Campus is more than a space to admire design – it’s a place to live transformative experiences. The addition of Ring and Ruisseau expand the vision of how design and nature can coexist, making every visit an inspiration.
If you are looking for a place where art, architecture and creativity meet, the Vitra Campus is a must-see.
