Motifs drawn from nature have played an important role in interior furnishings since the earliest examples known to us, and natural forms and structures have also been a recurring theme in the work of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.‎ L'Oiseau, an avian figure of archaic simplicity, is reminiscent of the unpretentious artefacts of Nordic folk art.‎ Its sleek form attractively enriches contemporary interiors without the cuteness or even tackiness so commonly associated with animal figures.‎L'Oiseau is available as a wooden bird made of milled maple and sanded to a smooth finish, or as a ceramic figure in a choice of colours.‎ Considerable craftsmanship goes into the fabrication of each piece, making it a unique object with individual characteristics.‎Material description- Material: ceramic with glazed finish, cork or solid maple wood.‎
