Rope Chair and Tupla Wall Hook by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

0

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are known as much for their technical expertise as for their graceful artistry. Celebrated first by the launch of the Kaari collection in 2015, their work for Artek has been truthful to the company’s ethos of embodying Art & Technology, what Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius famously referred to as a “new unity”.

In a new venture bringing together industrial production with artistic sensibility, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have designed the Rope Chair and Tupla Wall Hook: surprising silhouettes that meet sophisticated constructions in a synthesis of art and technology.


The Rope Chair is more of a silhouette than a solid block, a line drawing translated into space. Made for marine use, the rope is a weight-bearing part of the construction and it allows the chair to adapt to those who use it, offering unexpected comfort. A synthesis of contrasts, the Rope Chair combines sophisticated engineering and creative expression, a solid structure and flexible elements, stiff tubes and pliable rope.
