Bringing together craft, experimentation, and contemporary design, ECAL designers and alumni contribute to NOUVEL’s Glass Reflections showcased at Design Miami 2025.
The Glass Reflections exhibition, presented by NOUVEL, was selected as a special project by Glenn Adamson, Director of Curation at Design Miami, and showcased during the 20th edition of Design Miami, under the theme Make. Believe. Combining craftsmanship, experimentation, and contemporary design, this exhibition is a cross-cultural exploration of glass practices between Mexico and Switzerland. It features the following Swiss designers and graduates from ECAL:
Grid – Nicolas Le Moigne
A modular glass-brick system that enables a wide ange of architectural configurations. Beyond spatial solutions, it serves as a building element for creating
furniture and accessories.
Licorice – Dimitri Nassisi
Inspired by the sweet candy of our youth. These vases draw a parallel between industrial caramel production and manual glass-shaping
techniques.
Isla – Julie Richoz
It is a metaphor, as its name in Spanish indicates. The dot in the center represents an island with an irregular shape resulting from the artisanal process of encapsulating a pre-cut round piece.
