Designed to work as both a shelving unit and desk, the simple nature of this design means it will suit a whole host of interior styles. Combining simplicity and innovation, the Kaari collection by renowned designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec is the first collaboration between the brothers and the Finnish brand Artek. The standout feature of this collection is the arch-like metal band which brings a distinctive yet subtle character to an otherwise understated design.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Breton-born brothers, are the stars of European design and the most promising industrial designers to have emerged from France since Philippe Starck in the 1980s.
A combination of romanticism and functionality runs throughout both brothers’ work. Like all truly talented designers, the Bouroullecs have defined a distinctive visual style, which Jasper Morrison (one of the designers they most admire) described as “thoughtful and disciplined, with a real spirit and poetry”.
