Working as a furniture designer is a lot like working as a musician or an author. You establish a reputation and then hope to attract someone to publish/produce your work.
However, whereas authors and musicians tend to work exclusively with one publisher/label for prolonged periods, furniture designers generally develop products for numerous producers simultaneously.
Or at least the leading ones do.
In Milan we caught up with Ronan Bouroullec and here he briefly decribes what he enjoys about collaborating with Italian deisgner furniture producer Magis. The complete interview and more details on the new products from Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec once we're safely back in Germany.
