Junkyard Diving

Junkyard Diving

with Philippe Malouin

"Form follows function" is an expression attributed to the modernist architect Louis Sullivan. It is a statement that is quite relevant to industrial design. On the other hand, form can sometimes also determine function in a process of reverse exploration. During the workshop with Philippe Malouin, students were encouraged to look for new functions inspired by forms found in a metal recycling center. In this process, random discoveries and associations were made to generate a new and surprising vocabulary of forms.

DNA – 2022

with Wieki Somers

  Second year BA Industrial Design students had to formulate their own brief instead of getting one from their teachers. In the project's introduction, they were assigned the task of introspectively mapping their own design DNA by contemplating the question: What defines my essence as a designer? They introduced a clear brief related to their own fascinations and relevant topics in the field of design and in the time we live in. Then thes students developed a concept for a product from an original idea and artistic vision. The results are expressed in the form of  products, pieces of furnitures, accessories, proposing a new vision and a new way of producing. The areas of interest are diverse, spacing from open-source projects to process fascination.

Ecal X Helinox : Polaris

with Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Julie Richoz

Long before modern equipment, there was a single star travelers looked to when the ground gave no clues, steady above the horizon, marking north through even the darkest nights. In collaboration with Helinox, the Korean brand specialising in ultra-lightweight and compact furniture, ECAL Bachelor Industrial Design students, under the guidance of designer Julie Richoz, have designed ingenious, foldable and portable lights. Made for the outdoors, yet naturally at home anywhere.
