When paired with the gorgeous minimalism of the other pieces in the HAY Copenhague collection, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec’s CPH 215 Bench comes into its own, a practical, comfortable, and disarmingly beautiful seating solution designed for smaller spaces.
The bench’s flat surface has been enhanced by the use of new laminate technology that provides a soft matte surface that is anti-fingerprint and exceptionally easy to clean.
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”.
