Inside a Furniture Designer's Remote Farmhouse in France

À propos de cette vidéo

Welcome to the fifth instalment of Wallpaper's video series, The Stuff That Surrounds You. Watch as we're invited into the intriguing and idiosyncratic homes of creatives and makers, catching a glimpse of their interior lives via the objects with which they surround themselves, all of which tell a story. For this episode, we are invited into the country home of designer Erwan Bouroullec. Dubbed La Grange, Bouroullec's home is located in rural Burgundy and is a modern restoration of an farm building. Bouroullec made subtle interventions to the existing building to modernise it, while reusing as many of the site's original materials as possible to retain the skeleton of the house. For Bouroullec – who, alongside his brother Ronan Bouroullec, has worked with major brands such as Vitra, Magis and Alessi – design is more than inspiration, it’s ‘incredibly mandatory for everyday life’. He believes spaces should offer as much stimulation as possible; sterility, in his view, is ‘harmful to your body’.
