Pier System is a multifunctional storage system developed to accommodate and adapt to modern lifestyle requirements. Constructed from lightweight aluminium and steel, Pier System is available in a variety of colours and set configurations that can be combined with each other. Elements that are part of these configurations can be moved around as needed and desired, enabling the user to incorporate work, wardrobe or organisational functions into most rooms and environments, from living rooms and bedrooms to entrance halls and office areas.
"Pier is an open system. It can easily evolve into a specific purpose and be reconfigured when life changes." - Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Featuring a flat-pack design that is easy to assemble, reconfigure and recycle, the simple construction provides a flexible shelving solution for organising and storing a multitude of items.
The inspiration includes the look of an old woodworking studio, where there are tools assembled along the wall. In addition, the Bouroullecs note the look of a friend's old smoking room 'that had this immense wall covered with books, music, and ceramics. The composition in itself has the quality of an art piece: deep, intriguing, and open.'
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec the Paris based design brothers from Brittany have been working together since 1998. Ronan is a graduate of the École supérieure des Arts décoratifs in Paris and Erwan attended the École nationale supérieure des Arts in Cergy before starting their own studio.
Together Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec have transformed the design industry and offered new perspectives of materiality and purpose.
