products for leading international furniture brands, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec sent shockwaves throughout the design industry when they ended their professional collaboration in 2023. But it hasn\u2019t taken long for them to prove that, despite working solo and out of separate studios, neither brother has lost his edge. Take, for instance, the fresh new pieces they designed independently for Vitra: <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////www.vitra.com//en-us//product//details//courier/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ronan\u2019s Courier desk<\/a> and <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////www.vitra.com//en-us//product//details//mynt/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Erwan\u2019s Mynt chair.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">\u201cThe idea for this desk emerged during the pandemic, when everyone had to rethink their homes and use them as primary workspaces,\u201d says Ronan of Courier. \u201cIt\u2019s a simple idea, a desk flexible enough to fit into a wide range of domestic spaces.\u201d And while post-pandemic some companies have required employees to return to the office, there\u2019s continued emphasis on \u201cresimercial\u201d design, which is why this home-office desk is perfectly relevant in the evolving workplace, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"1498\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//08//9383664_Erwan-Bourroullec_portrait_with-Mynt_1_master.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9383664_Erwan-Bourroullec_portrait_with-Mynt_1_master.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9383664_Erwan-Bourroullec_portrait_with-Mynt_1_master-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9383664_Erwan-Bourroullec_portrait_with-Mynt_1_master-854x1024.jpg 854w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/9383664_Erwan-Bourroullec_portrait_with-Mynt_1_master-768x920.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Erwan Bouroullec next to his Mynt chair, which is made of 80 percent recycled materials and is 99 percent recyclable at the end of its life.

Mynt, a versatile task chair by Erwan, and Courier, a sleek, minimalist desk by Ronan. Courtesy vitra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Minimalist Forms, Maximum Intent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Ronan\u2019s design language, which underscores simplicity\u2014peppered with subtly playful and sophisticated notes\u2014is evident in the resulting product, which is \u201ca reduction of the desk to a form that is essential and visceral.\u201d Ronan calls it a \u201cnaked solution\u201d: a thin wooden surface offered in a dark or natural oak veneer on a die-cast aluminum base in a choice of three colors. On the one hand, its stepped silhouette is thoughtful and whimsical: Viewed from the side, its metal frame, with non-perpendicular legs, evokes a serif typeface\u2014hence the name Courier. But it also has a practical purpose: The lower desktop, measuring 47\u00bc inches wide and 20 inches deep, has enough surface area to hold a laptop and essentials like a cup of morning joe, while the slim raised platform at the back, which adds an additional 9.7 inches, can accommodate a separate screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Erwan\u2019s signature style\u2014similarly simple, minimal, and functional, with a twist\u2014is reflected in his Mynt chair. Its clean design comprises a thin seat shell and equally thin back that slopes downward to form armrests on a compact aluminum frame supported by a four- or five-star base. \u201cMynt is made of very few parts,\u201d says Erwan. \u201cIt\u2019s all incredibly optimized, and <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//viewpoints//the-salvage-manifesto-harness-the-power-of-material-reuse///">everything can be exchanged, repaired, and replaced<\/a> because that\u2019s the key to sustainability.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"1498\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//08//Vitra_Mynt_movement-sketch_/u00a9-Vitra_sketch_by_Erwan-Bouroullec.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Vitra_Mynt_movement-sketch_\u00a9-Vitra_sketch_by_Erwan-Bouroullec.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Vitra_Mynt_movement-sketch_\u00a9-Vitra_sketch_by_Erwan-Bouroullec-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Vitra_Mynt_movement-sketch_\u00a9-Vitra_sketch_by_Erwan-Bouroullec-854x1024.jpg 854w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Vitra_Mynt_movement-sketch_\u00a9-Vitra_sketch_by_Erwan-Bouroullec-768x920.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Mynt chair was designed to be a universal seating solution that fits in at home and in an office.

Inspired by the form of serif lettering, the desk offers just enough surface for focused work. Its pared-back construction reflects Vitra\u2019s growing focus on material efficiency and transparency and shift toward recyclable components.

A zipper-fastened upholstered seat and back covers are easily removable for washing and are offered in a wide array of fabrics\u2014from <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//products//6-trends-textiles-from-heimtextil///">recycled polyester<\/a> to a <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//products//wool-role-in-the-built-environment///">wool<\/a>-polyester blend\u2014to further customize the chair\u2019s appearance. Meanwhile, its <a href=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//products//12-office-furnishings-that-work-where-you-do///">aluminum base<\/a> can be completed with casters or glides. The bases can all be finished in deep black, but the four-star base is additionally available in soft light, blasted aluminum, or bottle green.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The aforementioned twist is Mynt\u2019s patented mechanism, which enables the seat to move independently of the back. Weight-activated, it adapts to various sitting postures without any external knobs, dials, or levers to fuss with, save for the height-adjustment paddle. \u201cInstead of having just a couple of settings, you\u2019ve got a million positions\u2014the body is surfing on the chair,\u201d the designer explains. Like Courier, this chair was designed with the new office in mind, whether it\u2019s at home or the workplace, with this mechanism specifically tailored for shared environments, where sitters may have a wide range of body types and postures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Although the Bouroullec brothers designed the two pieces individually, one can\u2019t help but notice that they share a remarkably similar aesthetic and, in fact, look like a natural pair. But make no mistake: Ronan and Erwan are two peas in a pod who can create strong stand-alone pieces that are still universal enough to mingle with other furnishings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1244\" height=\"1498\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//08//Ronan-Bouroullec_Marion-Berrin_2023.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ronan-Bouroullec_Marion-Berrin_2023.jpg 1244w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ronan-Bouroullec_Marion-Berrin_2023-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ronan-Bouroullec_Marion-Berrin_2023-850x1024.jpg 850w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ronan-Bouroullec_Marion-Berrin_2023-768x925.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1244px) 100vw, 1244px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy vitra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group none\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"comment size-regular\">Would you like to comment on this article?
