or Call to Order

The key to the design of the Cotone Slim armchair is the strong contrast between the frame’s rigor­ous, minimal lines made of aluminum, with extruded profiles created exclu­sively for the piece, and the soft, welcom­ing look of the seat. The Cotone slim armchair extends the invi­ta­tion to sit and relax. The design features a low profile and is as comfort­able as an armchair proper. The frame is avail­able in a number of aluminum finishes. The Cotone Slim is supplied in leather or fabric, and without a feather-quilted cover, in contrast to the alter­na­tive version, the classic Cotone armchair.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

France

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are two of the most prolific and in-demand designers working today, and they continually collaborate with the industry’s leading brands, including Alessi, Cappellini, Ligne Roset, HAY, Kvadrat, and Kartell.

Since 1999, the brothers have jointly operated a Paris-based studio, where they produce office, residential, and outdoor furniture, tabletop accessories, rugs, and much more. As they help move the design industry in new and interesting directions, the Bouroullecs look to varied inspirations from the past. They have cited American designers of the 1940’s and 1950’s and Italian designers of the 1970’s and 1980’s as influences.

The duo is obsessed with material clarity, and they often rely on material to guide the design direction of the piece they are working on. For instance, their Officina collection for Magis is defined by its amazingly delicate wrought-iron supports, while their Slow armchair for Vitra features an unexpected knit sling cover. The Bouroullecs have helped shape contemporary office design with numerous products for Vitra, including flexible Workbays and high-back Alcove seating, that add privacy and noise mitigation to modern workspaces.
