Momentané is the terrific new design retrospective of the work of brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Following the meteoric rise of these two forward thinking French born designers, the exhibit closely retraces 15 years of all aspects of their prolific output. From limited edition furniture to high quality mass-produced work, the versatility along with smart design is apparent in over the 100 works on display, which includes lamps, sofas, wall sculptures, tapestries, office furniture, and textiles. Highlights include the stunning 12 meter high felt sculpture named Clouds (2009) along side a dramatic wall of red and black clothes pins, Twigs and Algae sculptures (2004), the High-Backed Alcove sofa from Vitra (2007), and the Lit Clos bed, one of their first pieces from 2000 created for the Milan Furniture Fair.
Divided into three sections, the Tuileries side gallery features their modular designs for workspaces and offices, the Rivoli galleries focus on objects and furniture for home and more intimate spaces, and the center entrance aisle is an installation of their textile and room partition creations.
A must-see exhibit for design aficionados.
