Courier
Ronan Bouroullec, 2025
In addition to his design projects, Ronan Bouroullec is also an artist, producing intricate drawings in which he hand-draws intuitive sequences of lines with a Japanese felt tip brush. The contours of Courier can be read as an expression of this artistic approach, but also testify to Bouroullec's flair for form and composition as well as his technical expertise. The desk effortlessly combines two high-quality materials, wood and aluminium, to create a distinctive yet subtle design.
“I stripped everything down, until I got to something I like to call a ‘naked solution’ – just a thin wooden surface on legs. Courier provides enough surface to hold a laptop, some papers, and a screen or books.”
Ronan Bouroullec
Viewed from the side, the desk's silhouette recalls a serif letter design – hence the name Courier, which is one of the best-known serif typefaces.
