Ronan Bouroullec and the Baton Collection
The Baton collection started with a simple feature: a handle. The single line becomes a gesture that is the common thread between a family of pieces that range from a candleholder to a room divider. They all share this simple yet sophisticated feature that invites you to take these objects anywhere. Sharing a cast iron base and a curved stick (Baton), they become different characters in the choreography of life.
BD Barcelona
BD presented the Baton at the debut of the design salon Matter and Shape during Paris Fashion Week. It was a busy time with Ronan, who was also opening his solo show at Centre Pompidou and overcoming an intense flu. We managed to sit in his apartment in the centre of Paris and spoke about life, change, Brittany and the subtle differences he sees between drawing freely and unrestricted creativity.
