‘This marvelous and long-awaited publication offers us, readers, an unprecedented opportunity: to be able to discover and explore what goes on in the mind of brilliant designer Ronan Bouroullec. To see his decade-long creativity, ingenuity, and playfulness unfold on hundreds of pages through photographs and images that inspire and feed his creative process is more than a privilege, it is a gift.’ – Laurent Le Bon, Président du Centre Pompidou

‘Works and days was a didactic poem written by ancient Greek poet Hesiod, a farmer's almanac Hesiod instructs his brother Perses in the agriculture arts. This is how Day after Day is a journey into Ronan's practice and professional landscape. It's a generous survey, a mosaic of actions and intentions, where we all are Ronan's brothers.’ – Marco Sammicheli, director of Museo del Design Italiano of Triennale Milano

‘I have known Ronan for twenty years and he still surprises me. Is he a designer, a painter, an architect, a scenographer, a photographer? He is a master of all these disciplines and combines them in a spectacular way. He is unique and Day By Day is the brilliant document of his uniqueness.’ – Rolf Fehlbaum, Chairman Emeritus of Vitra

‘A fascinating analysis of the work and thinking of the remarkable Ronan Bouroullec. By charting his practice through his choice of the thousands of photographs he has taken over the years, Ronan invites us to see it from his perspective.’ – Alice Rawsthorn, author of Design as an Attitude
