Collaboration with Bernardaud – 2011

For the first collaboration with Bernardaud, the students worked under the direction of French designer Pierre Charpin to develop new designs to be applied to the porcelain produced at the Limoges factory.

Collaboration (2011) by Albert Schrurs, Guillaume Noiseux, Jeremy Murier

The students used the term "white" - which refers to porcelain pieces before they are decorated - as the basic material for their designs. The astonishing proposals, as well as the students' enthusiasm, prove how current the notion of decoration is.

Among the eight selected projects - produced in limited series - the "France" project was inspired by the Michelin Guide, born in 1900, to encourage customers to travel by car to discover culinary destinations and thus wear out their tyres. Roads and gastronomy become inseparable. The collection is for six people, and by juxtaposing the 30 different plates, the user discovers a single map of the roads and starred restaurants of France.

In order to pay tribute to the conquest of space and the unknown, the "Space Capsules" vases are inspired by the technical and scientific world of rockets or satellites. The "Inertia" project is based on an aesthetic resulting from movement. Applied using the turning technique, the pattern is painted directly onto the rotating parts. The impression of dynamism and speed is illustrated by the frequency of the lines and by their discontinuity. This series has been entirely handmade in order to create unique pieces.

Seoho Ahn – Cascade

MAS DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Seoho Ahn – Cascade

by Seoho Ahn

Jewellery is often seen as an ornamental object, yet it contains structural principles. A chain forms a continuous system of interconnected links that responds to gravity and distributes forces throughout its structure. Cascade explores how this logic can be translated from the body to space. When scaled up, the chain evolves from a decorative element into a load-bearing framework. Connections between links become structural joints, while the continuous flow of the chain becomes a path for transferring and balancing forces. Rather than borrowing the aesthetics of jewellery, Cascade translates its structural principles into a furniture system, transforming a decorative chain into an architectural structure.

Anna Andersson – LYSA

MAS DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Anna Andersson – LYSA

by Anna Andersson

LYSA is a portable lamp designed for outdoor rituals and small everyday adventures. Inspired by the emotional connection we have to bags and objects made to be carried, the project explores how light can become something intimate and mobile. The lamp is intended for picnics, gardens, balconies, and walks in nearby nature, bringing a sense of warmth and domesticity outdoors. It features dimmable light, USB-C charging, and a protected charging port. The materials — cork, dark brown suede, and linen fabric — were chosen for their tactile and atmospheric qualities. LYSA explores fabric translucency, color tones, light diffusion, and stabilization techniques to create an object that feels soft, warm, and made to accompany quiet moments outdoors.

Maxime Billoud – Lampe trois + 1

by Maxime Billoud

Lampe trois + 1 is rooted in material research and innovation. At the intersection of craftsmanship and design, this ceramic and porcelain lamp reflects both the artisan's gesture and the designer's approach. It is composed of three identical legs connected by a central technical component, while molded porcelain panels are integrated into the structure. The smoked clay elements, inspired by the Japanese raku technique, contrast with the delicacy and translucency of porcelain. Designed as a flat-pack lamp that can be easily assembled, Lampe trois + 1 embodies a process of material exploration while resulting in a functional and tangible object.

Thibaud Kanty Boto – ROHY

by Thibaud Kanty Boto

In Madagascar, rabane, a textile made from woven raffia fibers, has traditionally been used to make bags, mats, and everyday objects. Today, this weaving technique is gradually disappearing in favor of standardized production intended for export, particularly crochet-based work. Rooted in this evolving artisanal heritage, ROHY explores new possibilities for rabane. Through experimentation, by combining woven fibers with a binder and then molding them, this project reveals the structural and aesthetic potential of rabane. The collection proposes a contemporary reinterpretation of this ancestral craft through a series of accessories.

Martin Brouckaert – Brunch Service

by Martin Brouckaert

Brunch Service is a modular collection of objects that transforms Sunday brunch into an architectural landscape. It consists of containers, utensils, and cutlery that, when stacked, create abstract graphic silhouettes. Based on tubular forms, the objective of this project is to break away from industrial standards through a twist that forms sculptural compositions. This system was designed to elevate the ritual of brunch, acting as a reinterpretation of modern silverware that serves as a celebration.
