Kvadrat
2023
For Milan Design Week 2023, textile manufacturer Kvadrat is presenting a new collection designed by Ronan Bouroullec. To showcase the pieces, the designer created a custom furniture set consisting of 14 screens, 13 miniature screens, and 5 candle holders, all designed for the Kvadrat Corso Monforte showroom. Blam handled the technical development and fabrication of the entire collection.
Made of steel and carbon, this series of poles rests on a weighted, powder-coated steel base featuring a circular stainless steel handle for easy transport. The upper section of the pole is crafted entirely from a carbon rod.
Following Design Week, the series was expanded with new functional pieces: a floor-standing bud vase, a ceramic stand, and a mirror. Several of these items were showcased during the 2024 Design Parade in Hyères, as well as at the Centre Pompidou in the exhibition ‘Ronan Bouroullec, Resonance’ in September 2024.
