'A Beautiful Dream:' Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec: Drawing

Featured image is an untitled drawing by the influential designers (and brothers) Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, whose work is currently the subject of a 15 year retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It is reproduced from Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec: Drawing, JRP|Ringier's, 868 page, telephone-book-like volume designed by Cornel Windlin, who writes, "They are dreamers, and they dream a beautiful dream – full of odd characters, surprises, inventions, ideas, sudden detours and U-turns, aesthetic jump-cuts, gentle development, manic repetition, obsessive refinement, but also full of poetry, unspoiled optimism, warmth, tenderness, and generosity."
