L'Oiseau

Description

Called L'Oiseau, meaning 'the bird' in French. The sleek form of the bird attractively suits contemporary interiors. This avian figure of archaic simplicity is remindful of the modest artifacts of Nordic folk art. It is available in a ceramic figure in various colors or as a wooden bird made of milled maple and sanded to a smooth finish.

The L'Oiseau bird, made in either ceramic or wood, has a Scandinavian feel with its smooth edges and simple design.

 "Motifs drawn from nature have played an important role in interior furnishings since the earliest examples known to us, and natural forms and structures have also been a recurring theme in the work of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. " - Vitra
