Coffee cup

Under the guidance of Tomas Kral, teacher at ECAL and designer, 3rd year Industrial Design Bachelor students were asked to rethink the coffee cup, as part of the 2017 edition of the Agora Biennale of Bordeaux contest. The goal for the students was to imagine a scenario around their object so they could valorise this drink or the manner it is savoured.

Hyeseung Nam – Clover Series

MAS DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Hyeseung Nam – Clover Series

by Hyeseung Nam

Clover Series is an object that features user-friendly graphic patterns, created by the properties of the materials. Reinterpreting the details of the shaker box, the series creates overlapping graphics based on the number of patterns that are stacked. The objects can be used in various ways in the kitchen or living room, adding a playful vibe to the place. The surfaces of the object are assembled vertically and connected by rivets. The round-cutting detail of the connection covers the parting line of the material while providing an aesthetic finish. Clover Series offers a sensual approach to materials, at the crossroads of design and craftsmanship.

ECAL LOCAL

with Christophe Guberan

In collaboration with a local craftsman, the students designed a reusable packaging solution suitable for production in a little series. The project aimed to enhance the value of an everyday food product while addressing current challenges related to transport, sustainability, and the second life of packaging. The intervention had to be simple, functional, and eco-friendly, offering a purpose beyond its original packaging function.
Abundance & Scarcity

Abundance & Scarcity

with Nadine Sterk

When we live in a society with so much abundance yet at the same time so much scarcity, how do we discern the resources around us? How can we look to our surroundings to learn about where things come from, or how we might apply them in our own lives? More importantly, how can we live more harmoniously with nature by respecting it and taking only what we need? Within the workshop held by Nadine Sterk from Atelier NL the BA Industrial Design students were asked to create tableware around the theme ‘Abundance & Scarcity' from vernacular earth collected together in the Sauvabelin woods in Lausanne. Students and crew had no hesitation in getting their hands (and clothes) dirty to knead, turn, form, glaze, and fire ceramic tableware that tells a story.  
Minyeol Cho – A Piece of Nature

Minyeol Cho – A Piece of Nature

by Minyeol Cho

I was captivated by the Swiss lifestyle of embracing nature and enjoying outdoor experiences. Inspired by the beauty of people conversing and dining outdoors under clear skies, I conceived the idea of an outdoor tableware set to evoke nature and facilitate conversations. My design focused on maintaining a natural aesthetic, using materials that foster a connection with nature. I aimed for a simple design that preserves the integrity of the wood while highlighting its inherent beauty. The tableware set’s interior is coated with a natural dye from lacquer trees, offering waterproofing and eco-friendly production. This design allows users to appreciate the characteristics, aesthetics and practicality of the material.
Nadia El-Hindi – Chef !

Nadia El-Hindi – Chef !

with Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Christian Spiess, Maddalena Casadei

Immersion into the highly codified world of cutlery made me discover the delicate and threatening duality of knives. Guided by my observations of the forms and details relating to steel work, I chose to open up the boundaries of this field with the help of a craftsman. Thus, I created “Chef!”, a line of kitchen knives that combines the intelligence of craftsmanship with the precision of the industry. The steel blade, protected by a natural anti-corrosive treatment called “seasoning”, is attached to the handle thanks to assembly that is directly inspired by hammers.
