Lately, I've been kind of obsessed with English designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. They studied at L'École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and now, with a studio in Saint-Denis, they have designed lots of objects for Cappellini, Vitra, Sommer, LigneRoset, fashion designer and also a friend of them, Issey Miyake, among others. Their projects are commercial failures, they don't want to be bestsellers, but longsellers.

Here's the video of one of their latest projects, Vegetal for Vitra (2009):


Another two famous objects by the Bouroullec Brothers are:

Algues for Vitra (2004):

They say: "Twigs and Algues are 2 projects that lead down the same path. The common idea is to approach architecture from the millimetre. Or how the repetition of a same motive brings to a larger scale".

Cloud Modules for Cappellini (2002):


Clearly, nature inspire them.
