with the same construction geometry as the tables from their prior experimentation,ronan & erwan bouroullec apply wrought iron to a shell made in injection-molded plastic for the stool and chair series, available in two in different finishes — leather or plastic. a revealed textural surface lends each of the objects a distinct vibration and materiality, realizing a minimalist design which combines raw material and an unmistakably industrial feel with a refined and elegant sensibility.
