Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are well-known for their collaborations with some of the biggest brands in the contemporary furniture and lighting industry.  Their portfolio includes designs for Ligne Roset, Vitra, Flos & Kvadrat and extends over a period of more than 15 years.

Design Districts are a plenty; key for us were Design Junction, Clerkenwell and Brompton and within these three areas alone, we saw a vast array of beautiful furniture, lighting, accessories and some great installations too.
