Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec – Album
Vitra Design Museum Gallery, Weil am Rhein
03 February – 06. Juni 2012

The brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec rank among the most influential contemporary designers. Their ideas are often inspired by shapes and structures of nature. The exhibition presents sketches and conceptual drawings of the Bouroullecs and draws attention towards the medium of drawing itself, which has kept its importance even in times of computer visualizations. This offers fascinating insights into the inspirations of the designers, but also in some preliminary stages of their final creations.


Pop Art Design. Icons of Consumerism
29 September 2012 – 03 February 2013

Inspiring each other mutually, art and design of the Pop era developed a visual language that coins the world of media and consumption until today. The exhibition traces this dialogue with key works of artists such as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein and Claes Oldenburg and of designers like George Nelson, Ettore Sottsass, Gaetano Pesce and Olivier Mourgue. This is a cooperation of the Vitra Design Museum with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
