Original models connected to these projects are also on view. The Bouroullecs\u2019 creative spirit and lively design sense inspired the title of the exhibition\u2014a metaphor for the fantastical experience of the circus, and the roles of their works as performers within.<\/p>\n\n\u00a0\n\n<strong>Inspiration &amp; Innovation<\/strong>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Notable aspects of the brothers\u2019 approach to design are their regard for the natural world as a source of inspiration and their deep engagement with manufacturing processes and materials to produce visual and physical effects. Many objects in this exhibition reflect an intertwining of traditional craft techniques with contemporary style. They celebrate the handmade qualities of these designs and the imperfections inherent in production processes as a source of variety, visual interest, and means of softening the sometimes mechanical characteristics of mass manufacture.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"1856\" src=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bouroullec_2020_rennes-le-belvedere.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bouroullec_2020_rennes-le-belvedere.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bouroullec_2020_rennes-le-belvedere-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bouroullec_2020_rennes-le-belvedere-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bouroullec_2020_rennes-le-belvedere-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t<p>Le Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re,\u00ad 2020, designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
