Collaboration with Mauviel 1830

ECAL x MAUVIEL 1830 Creativity knows no boundaries and certainly not those of kitchens! The collaboration with Mauviel represents for ECAL and students of the Master in Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship an incredible opportunity to delve into the world of gastronomy. Through a project that began with a tour of the whole class at the factory in Normandy, which was followed by a meeting with the stared chef Yannick Alléno in Paris, students were able to discover a world where knowledge is synonymous with Excellency.

Collaboration (2016) by Martin Bolo, Jiwon Choi, Clément Beaugé, Jungyou Choi, Hyunjee Jung, Jenna Kaes, Einat Kirschner, Hyewon Lim, Pauline Masson, Renaud Meunier, Clarisse Mordret, Takahiro Yamamoto

Facilitate the work of chef, sublimate the tastes and products but also present the dishes straight from the fire were points that were ringside in the specifications. Mauviel’s expertise in terms of transformation of material through specific techniques, but also knowledge of the specific needs of the chefs were also extremely useful elements to start this ambitious project.

Accompanied by the designer Tomas Kral, students from around the world were able to explore many ways. A selection made under the expert eye of Mauviel then gave birth to a series of prototypes that are waiting to be tested.

For the ECAL, this collaboration is again a discovery, a valuable exchange and for sure a wonderful tasting experience!

MAS DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025 ECAL x Ceramaret

At the invitation of Watches and Wonders Geneva, ECAL will present a brand-new project in partnership with Ceramaret, a leading Swiss company in the manufacture and high-precision machining of technical ceramics. To mark the occasion, a selection of five jewellery and bracelet designs will be on display at the LAB, a venue dedicated to innovation and design. Thanks to this first collaboration with the Neuchâtel-based manufacturer, students in MAS Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship got to discover a state-of-the-art machine park. Renowned for developing and producing components for the luxury watchmaking industry, Ceramaret’s teams contributed their expertise to this ambitious research. Combining innovation with creativity, the project brings together the know-how of specialised engineers in materials science and the boundless inventiveness of an up-and-coming generation of designers. Following the presentation of the students’ 15 concepts, five designs were selected and prototyped in technical ceramics, using additive technologies – a 3D printing process that provides the possibility to create intricate, previously unimaginable shapes. This collection, including bracelets inspired by fine watchmaking and innovative jewellery designs, draws its inspiration as much from the beauty of organic forms as from the complexity of systems derived from engineering.

Esther Alcade – Arrel

by Esther Alcade

Every year, 300 million shoes are discarded, with manufacturing producing 313 million tons of CO2 due to petroleum-derived materials. The Arrel project aims to extend the life of sports shoes by repurposing soles after 1000 km of use. Based in Mallorca, known for its basket weaving and shoemaking traditions, Arrel preserves artisanal knowledge and uses natural materials like palm fibers and esparto grass, also Arrel's new soles use biomaterials to reduce environmental impact. The project preserves Mallorca's cultural heritage by creating more durable shoes and reducing the ecological footprint.

Min Jun Choi – Inlight

by Min Jun Choi

Often seen as waste, intestines are an underseen material that holds the potential of a delicate light diffuser. Pig intestines are initially gelatinous and flexible but once layered and dried, they achieve a leather-like hardness and texture. The material can be freely shaped depending on where it's dried. Utilizing these properties, I wrapped pig intestines around a structure and let them dry. After removing the mold, I connected the hardened pig intestines to create modular lighting designs. This modular design offers the advantage of extending in length by increasing the number of modules, adapting to the size of the space in which it is used.

by Helena Choi

The Flat to Surface collection features a lamp, stool, and tray crafted from a single pattern using origami techniques. These items are designed to form their own structures through folding, requiring only simple stitches or knots to maintain their shapes. Depending on the product, various types of leather are used, chosen for their transparency and flexibility.

Sacha Dufour – Conversation artificielle

by Sacha Dufour

Artificial Conversation is a fluid language - an exploration of liquid forms as they interact with the body. This work merges human and technology to propose a new process for creating jewelry. Using photography combined with artificial intelligence, I compose images destined to become jewelry. Experimenting with different techniques, crossing, and superimposing them until an idea is reached. I search for the form that embodies the liquid, sculpting artificial images in the same way I compose photographs. It's a game between a body, a liquid and an intelligence that needs to be guided.
