stylish study

The Bouroullec brothers this time have gone academic. The University of Copenhagen, DK, has requested a new seating & study design to be used in the libraries, common and work areas for its Faculty of Humanities, due to reopen after its renovation, this coming January.

The chairs which are the main focus of the design are simple, strong, stackable and built for high volume manufacture, and hence relatively cheap. To achieve all this, a shell in two parts was utilised by the Bouroullec design team. The chairs and library desks have been produced in oak and beech wood, and will also be available from Danish design brand Hay. and will be used in the university faculty’s libraries common and work areas 

At least when you're bored to death while in a lecture, you'll know that you're doing it in style.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec are a design team formed by brothers from Brittany. Their designs have been described as representing poetic practicality. The Bouroullec brothers work in Paris, for clients including Cappellini, Ligne Roset, Habitat, Domeau & Peres, Authentics, EandW, Magis, Vitra and others. In 2011, the Centre Pompidou-Metz hosted a major retrospective on the Bouroullec brothers. Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronan_%26_Erwan_Bouroullec
