ronan + erwan bouroullec: album
vitra design museum gallery, weil am rhein
february 3rd to may 28th, 2012


the vitra design museum gallery, weil am rhein presents 'album', an exhibition featuring the work of french designers ronan + erwan bouroullec.
the travelling exposition which first made its debut at l’ arc en rêve centre d’architecture in bordeaux, france celebrates the duo's practice
marking important steps in their working process through an extensive display of drawings, models, plans and photographs pulled from their archive.

the means in which the pieces on show are displayed is reminiscent of a laboratory or museum of natural sciences, much like fieldwork,
a chronicle of ronan and erwan's design practice, giving an alternative look at their work and the details behind their products.

'album' shows us how the design industry today represents a complex exercise, within which a wide series of technical problems
are sought to be resolved. even in our age of computers, the bouroullec's express to us the importance of design as an indispensable work tool,
putting pen to paper, allowing for more a spontaneous and partly unexpected development of language of forms.
the exhibition brings to mind the meaning drawing has always had for the creation of objects from leondardo da vinci to le corbusier.
