“My work identifies more issues than it solves problems. I don’t think an artist ever solves problems. The role given to art is to question the world, and the answers are offered by the spectator.”
Erwan Boulloud
“To me, furniture design is just a random consequence of life. It’s the means of expression that was given to me, just as others might have painting or music.”
Erwan Boulloud

“Beyond its aesthetic success, I feel a work of art is successful in its ability to generate a lineage, this is to me the testimony of its profundity.”
Erwan Boulloud
The Natural Sciences are his main influences: he connects traditional craft techniques to fill the delicate senses of anthropomorphism into his diverse pieces. For him, the success of a craftsmanship masterpiece isn’t measured by its aesthetic qualities.
His own design studio is located in Montreuil, France. And his main sources of inspiration are Anish Kapoor, Andy Goldsworthy, and Ron Arad. The top product designer generates authentic pieces that are unique or limited editions, signed and numbered.
