Inside a Furniture Designer's Remote Farmhouse in France

For this episode, we are invited into the country home of designer Erwan Bouroullec. Dubbed La Grange, Bouroullec's home is located in rural Burgundy and is a modern restoration of an farm building. Bouroullec made subtle interventions to the existing building to modernise it, while reusing as many of the site's original materials as possible to retain the skeleton of the house.

For Bouroullec – who, alongside his brother Ronan Bouroullec, has worked with major brands such as Vitra, Magis and Alessi – design is more than inspiration, it’s ‘incredibly mandatory for everyday life’. He believes spaces should offer as much stimulation as possible; sterility, in his view, is ‘harmful to your body’.
