Chroniques d'une disparition

Jonas Berthod – Chroniques d'une disparition

“ This work tells the story of boxer and poet Arthur Cravan, precursor of Dada and Surrealism, who was born in Switzerland in 1887 and vanished somewhere in the Pacific Ocean in 1918. When I discovered his story in bits, I was struck by the number of lives he led, all full and intense. In order to tell them, I reenacted them in a visual enquiry, with a series of different design objects. Assembled and edited in a report completing my investigation, they retrace the facets of Arthur Cravan. This work in two phases allowed me to make a foray, through my interests (art, the function and role of design, history, the materiality of print…), into the ways of telling a life beyond words — experimenting on the one hand with storytelling and on the other hand with the tools, both technical and visual, of design. ” Jonas Berthod

Alfredo Venti – Points de rencontre/Treffpunkte

by Alfredo Venti

Points de rencontre/Treffpunkte is an inclusive graphic system designed to make sociocultural resources more visible and accessible to people facing linguistic isolation, or to anyone seeking to join a social network. Inspired by educational tools used with non-native speakers, it combines pictograms, color coding, visual keywords, and modular signage. Installed at the entrances of community centers through interchangeable panels, and complemented by poster campaigns (print and web), it brings these structures into public view for those looking for a service, a network, or simply a welcoming place.

Amélie Bertholet – a room of our own

by Amélie Bertholet

a room of our own is an editorial project born from the relationship between my flatmate, Flavia, and myself. This book explores how a relationship lives and evolves within a shared space: our apartment. Often seen as a transitional phase, cohabitation here becomes a long-term space of emancipation and sisterhood. Nurtured by feminist references—beginning with its title, borrowed from "A Room of One’s Own" by Virginia Woolf—the project questions the place of women within spaces of creation and intimacy. Through symmetry and collection, the book translates the experience of a lived space into an editorial object. The layout's grid, drawn from the apartment’s floor plan, creates shifts in scale and layout to reflect the transformation of 3D space into the 2D printed page.

by Candice Aepli

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.

Constance Mauler – Club Kid

by Constance Mauler

My project explores the Club Kid scene. Born in the 1980s in New York, this movement emerged as a radical response to artistic and social elitism. Led by queer and marginalized individuals, it transformed nightlife into a space of freedom, resistance, and self-invention. This publication aim to create a dialogue between the original generation of Club Kids and the contemporary scene, to show how this movement continues to challenge norms, invent new codes, and assert liberated identities. An immersion into a flamboyant and deeply political subculture.
