"Clouds coats architecture in a fluid yet chaotic way; bringing surprisingly colourful fabric windows to your place" (Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec)
Through our current project, Modern Age, I have been looking into the designs of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, mainly in the design they did for Kvadrat, 'Clouds'.
Clouds is a tile concept which is designed for use in homes, and is vey versatile in what it can be used for. When hung from the ceiling, it can provide a partition to separate rooms or areas, whereas hung on a wall it can simply be art. The tiles are attached by rubber bands, to make it easy to change and rearrange the tiles when desired, giving the opportunity to change the look of the space as many times as you want.
The idea is that new tiles can be added or removed as required, to create an ever-changing look, and the tiles come in 7 different colour schemes.
Designers, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, have been working together for ten years and have won various design awards, including the New Designer award at the international contemporary furniture fair in New York in 1999, and Designers of the Year in 2002 at the Salon de Meuble, a trade show in Brussels showcasing interiors, decor, gifts and homeware. They have also done a few architectural projects, such as Maison Flottante (Floating House) which is shown below.
