17 screens
Frac Bretagne
2015
The exhibition 17 Screens designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, offers a fresh perspective on the concept of the suspended screen, acting as both a partition and a subtle veil.
Conceived as both a sculptural and conceptual composition, the exhibition unfolds through a series of spatial sequences where traditional weaving techniques intertwine with contemporary assembly methods. Each module acts as a variation, revealing the richness of an open construction system capable of transforming space with lightness and transparency.
These experimental structures take shape through a carefully selected vocabulary of materials: ceramic, glass, anodized aluminum, textile, and wood engage in a dialogue that enhances their individual qualities. Together, they form a modular landscape—a hallmark of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s work—where material becomes a playful and accessible language.
Developed and produced by blam, this installation embodies rigorous technical research in service of a refined formal aesthetic. Through a precise and reproducible assembly system, 17 Screens affirms an approach to contemporary design where modularity, innovation, and craftsmanship resonate with precision.
