« We’re not particularly interested in decor. We were rather thrown by Sommer’s proposition: to create a motif for carpet tiles, 50 x 50 cm, to cover a floor. Certainly the result is formal, but this sequence of lines, when the pieces are placed together, causes the boundaries between the carpet til
es to disappear and the effect somewhat resembles a chess board. Here, skin serves to coalesce, to unify. “
Extracts from the book “ Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec” released by Phaidon in 2003.
