The Bouroullec redecorate Apartment 50, in a building by Le Corbusier

An apartment building in the historic Marseilles Unité d’habitation of Le Corbusier, a fun and festive custom, and the products are able to integrate into the environment without disturbing the harmony of the spaces. This could be the summary of Apartment 50, an interior design project ephemeral has become the latest sensation of the season addicted to design. The quality and warmth are assured, is a project of the factory Bouroullec.
They say that the blame for this-let’s call squat-exposure is Jasper Morrison, one of the three legs on which rests the Vitra Home Collection: has led to a redefinition of the German furniture brand today to think through designers contemporaries. The other two are brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Hella Jongerius, and. Perhaps this explains the involvement of the French in a project of the British forerunner of the “New Simplicity”, a trend that advocates a humble interpretation, while more serious design. And is that the Bouroullec are very serious about their work and nothing artificial in his creations.

Of course, who could say no to redecorate an apartment in a building by Le Corbusier, in whose interior breathes mastery of Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé? Perhaps this shows only an excuse for this time of crisis, an exhibition drawn from a hat. Or, perhaps one of those projects that arise “because” and assume a breath of fresh air, but what is certain is that either way, see a live house where the pieces created by these brothers in last decade is a pleasure to behold.
Scattered between the rooms, see the table, chairs and shelves that shaped the SteelWood furniture collection for Magis, which adapts to almost any contemporary space without fanfare.
