Boris Burov

Boris Burov was a French furniture designer and editor active during the 1970s, a dynamic era when innovation, comfort, and bold aesthetics redefined interior design. As the founder of the Burov brand, he played a key role in shaping modern French furniture design, bridging craftsmanship with contemporary sensibilities.

Burov’s work is known for its sculptural forms, generous proportions, and use of high-quality materials. One of his most iconic creations is the OSAKA model, a sofa that has become emblematic of 1970s design. With its low profile, foam construction, and graphic upholstery—often sourced from renowned textile houses like BUTE—it captures the spirit of the decade: bold, relaxed, and forward-looking.

The Burov company also collaborated with various designers, producing limited-edition and custom-made pieces that stood out for their originality and craftsmanship. Today, Burov’s designs are sought after by collectors and regularly featured in galleries dedicated to 20th-century design, a testament to his enduring influence and refined vision.
