Wooden Side Tables
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2015

Wooden Side Tables Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2015

The design of the Wooden Side Tables corresponds to the Metal Side Tables created for Vitra by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in 2004. Like the latter, these wooden occasional tables derive their appeal from the contrast between their gracefully thin table tops and the voluminous plinth-like bases. As a distinctive feature, the plywood table tops are gently moulded around the edges to form a slight lip, which lends them an elegant, almost Japanese aura.

The Wooden Side Tables are available in three sizes. Together with the Metal Side Tables, they comprise a family of occasional tables that can be used and combined in myriad ways. With a face veneer in natural oak, dark oak or walnut, they bring an inviting, natural aesthetic to this group – and thanks to the plywood material, they are light and mobile.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1971 and 1976, respectively, in Quimper, France, studied at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Ronan began independent design work immediately after completing his studies, while his brother, who was still in school, assisted him.

Since 1999 both brothers have worked together as joint partners in their own Paris-based design studio. Their work ranges from small utilitarian objects to architectural projects. In addition to the design of domestic and office furniture, vases, porcelain dishware, jewellery and diverse home accessories, a primary focus of their work is the design and organisation of interior space.

One of their most unconventional designs, Algue (2004), was created in this context. The collaboration between the Bouroullec brothers and Vitra began with the office furniture system Joyn, which was developed between 2000 and 2002 and continues to be expanded and refined. Along with Jasper Morrison, Hella Jongerius, and Antonio Citterio, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have made major contributions to the steadily growing Vitra Home Collection.
