vitra presents cyl by ronan and erwan bouroullec at neocon 2018. #1192

Jun 11, 2018

vitra’s collaboration with ronan and erwan bouroullec represents the central theme of this year’s presentation at neocon. the paris-based design duo first caught the attention of the swiss company with two experimental projects back in 2000.

cyl – the bouroullecs’ newest contribution to vitra’s portfolio – is presented in a special showcase and a dedicated window display. with its handcrafted, natural aesthetic, it embodies the antithesis of the cold, technical office environment, bringing the atmosphere of home into the workplace. the product family encompasses a wide range of furniture typologies: tables with contrasting black and natural wood finishes can optionally be equipped with dividers to function as workstations. featuring side and back panels that come in different heights, the cyl sofas are microarchitectural elements inspired by the idea of a “room within a room” – a concept the designers have also explored with other products, among which the alcove sofa stands out as one of the most remarkable.
