Courier Desk – Vitra – Ronan Bouroullec
Seen from the side, the silhouette of the office is reminiscent of the outline of a serif letter - hence the name Courier, which is one of the most well-known serif typefaces.
Tabletop Laminated wood with dark varnished or natural oiled oak veneer.
Origin of wood oak (Quercus robur) from Western Europe and/or Poland.
Base Injected aluminium, structured epoxy finish in chalk, burgundy or black.
In addition to his design projects, Ronan Bouroullec is also an artist. He creates complex drawings by hand-drawing intuitive sequences of lines with a Japanese felt-tip brush. The contours of Courier can be interpreted as an expression of this artistic approach, but also testify to Ronan Bouroullec's flair for form and composition as well as his technical expertise.
The desk combines two high-quality materials, wood and aluminium, to create a distinctive yet understated whole.
