The smartphone has turned a trip to the mountains into an exercise in documentation. We take photos, tag our location, and post them: the natural world becomes content before it becomes a moment of reconnection. Re:soil offers a compact outdoor device whose sensors continuously measure humidity, light, and the transitions between environments. Its probe, planted in the ground, measures the earth's heat and compares it to that of the user's hand. Its microphone captures the soundscape of the location. Re:soil conveys these connections through vibration and light, without a screen, without performance, and without a phone. Upon the user's return, a linked app generates an ephemeral journal blending sensory interpretations, the geology of the site, and likely flora and fauna.

CLAWS is a collection of interactive accessories designed for a connected community. Worn on the fingertips, these devices enable users to assert their presence and engage with their surroundings on their own terms. Blurring the line between prosthetics and augmented nail art, the project explores how bodily ornamentation can transform the body into an interface with the physical, digital, and social worlds. Each CLAW is customizable : textures, colors, and patterns become symbols of identity and belonging. Inspired by Afrofuturist visions, the project centers on the concept of "digital marronage" through fugitive, self-organizing technologies. CLAWS acts as a political and cultural extension that resists the standardization of mainstream contemporary technology.

Brindille et Azilise invite you to imagine children's space differently, by offering a lively, playful universe in their bedrooms. Here, the story is not read between the pages, but lies on the floor and climbs up the windows. It slips under an arm. It tucks in dreams. It's a whole world at children's level, where ecosystems come to life through furniture, transforming everyday life into a playground for exploration. Le jardin, collection no. 1 The gardener has slipped seeds into the soil, the bright sun warms the petals, the mouse nibbles on the sly, and in this corner full of life, everyone is busy and smiling.
