Vitra’s L’Oiseau by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is a minimalist interpretation of classic animal sculptures used in home decor. L’Oiseau differs from the naivist cuteness of traditional animal figures with its refined silhouette that complements the interior in an elegant way. The wooden version of L’Oiseau is perfected with a beautiful grain pattern, and the ceramic birds get their character from a sophisticated palette of colours. Due to its handcrafted manufacturing process, every L’Oiseau is a unique piece of its own.
