When I was first introduced to the art furniture by French maker/designer Erwan Boulloud, I was immediately thinking of André-Charles Boulle, the most legendary French cabinetmaker who worked with brass and other metals when creating furniture for his most famous client, the Sun King, Louis XIV. I was not surprised therefore, when meeting Boulloud this morning for the occasion of his first US solo show, ‘Evolution’ at Twenty First Gallery, that he is a graduate from École Boulle, the Parisian college of arts and crafts, named after the 17th-century artist, where his legacy is taught to this day.
