Easy to assemble, reconfigure and recycle, the Pier System is designed to accommodate all living styles and adapt to changing environments. Featuring a flat-pack design, the lightweight aluminium construction uses the minimum number of components required to create a complete storage system, resulting in a pared-back and simple structure that provides organisation, storage and display space for a multitude of items. Easily arranged and rearranged to suit the user’s needs, Pier incorporates elements specific to work, wardrobe or everyday modern living. There are several Pier Systems available, ranging from styles for the living room and bedroom to the entrance hall and office.
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”.
