Slow chair & ottoman – Vitra

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

The Slow Chair is a free interpretation of the Eero Saarinen's classic Womb Chair, one of the most important aesthetic references of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. From its eldest, it inherits the open and inviting proportions as well as its quality of exceptional comfort. This is achieved through a large saving of padding, reduced to the seat, the backrest is made of a textile membrane of great technicality, flexible, resistant and breathable. The structure itself consists of a steel frame. The Slow Chair is ideal for reading, watching a movie, lazing by the fireplace or on a veranda.

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.
