L'Oiseau (ceramic), Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra

  • L'Oiseau (ceramic), Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra
L‘Oiseau, the representation of a bird in repose, was designed initially as a non-commissioned work in the studio of the brothers Bouroullec. As an avian figure of archaic simplicity, L’Oiseau is reminiscent of the unpretentious artefacts of Nordic folk art. Its sleek form attractively enriches contemporary interiors without the cuteness or even tackiness so commonly associated with animal figures. Considerable craftsmanship goes into the fabrication of the ceramic L'Oiseau figure, making it a unique object with individual characteristics. The ceramic bird is available in a choice of colours.
