Assistants: Quang Vinh Nguyen
Students: Lélie Guiochet, Charlotte Jobin, Alexandre Li, Titouan Longatte, Jeremy Loup, Jean-Elie Matile, Eva Reymond, Julie Tena, Salla Vallotton, Gaia Vitali, François Ader, Charlotte Chang, Aurélien Clerc, Matteo De Carlo, Oriana Gonzalez Fernandez, Melchior Myard, Isaure Nicolet, Abla Bolassi Owoussi, Alexander Paynter Bryant, Maëlle Rotten, Matthieu Rigelo, Mael Sandoz, Joab Schneiter, Noah Stanley, Alice Graff, Flavia Renaud
Know-how: soft goods / accessories, Craftsmanship, Textile

Whether for hiking in the mountains, trout fishing, camera protection, carrying tools or everyday shopping.The type of bag, its use and the materials used were free, but mainly soft materials and textiles in all their forms, preferably sustainable: traditional, natural, technical, active, woven, non-woven, knitted, were favored.

The following aspects should be at the heart of their thinking, and should be carefully researched: Target context of use, function, ergonomics, construction, production and materials.

BA INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Robin Luginbühl – Disassembly Lab

with Stephane Halmai-Voisard, Christian Spiess, Carolien Niebling

The Disassembly Lab is a conceptual and formal study aimed at creating shoes integrated into a sustainable marketing system. Disassembly extends the life of a shoe, making it repairable, restorable, replaceable and recyclable. The aim is to rethink and redefine the way we build and assemble sneakers. This research takes inspiration from various references and explores several distinct concepts. Each concept evolves over the course of the research process, culminating in three shoes, offering a variety of functional and aesthetic solutions. These shoes, with their TPU soles and 3D knitted uppers, are reduced to the essentials, enabling simple, rapid production and assembly and easy recyclability.

Leila Farra – Traces

with Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Christian Spiess, Maddalena Casadei

“Traces” is a collection of paintbrushes made out of rattan and horsehair. The idea behind this research was to experiment with the tools. Movement, the design of the handle and the hair position influenced the result. The first tests on paper led to experiments on fabric, resulting in a series of painted textiles whose patterns stem directly from the brushstrokes. This project enabled me to immerse myself into two ancestral crafts, wickerwork and paintbrush manufacturing, which I was then able to merge to create a collection between art and design.

Heein Im – Balancing Circle

by Heein Im

Balancing Circle is a sculptural object that experiments with the tension and flexibility of textiles. As people walk past, the installation generates unexpected excitement by swaying lightly and interacting with the surrounding space. The object also focuses on material research with elements that are commonly used for fashion accessories such as leather, yarn and fabric. The circle is a shape that is considered to be perfectly balanced. However, by placing it in a critical position, our attention is drawn to the second moment of balance applied to the circle. It is as if we were attempting to establish stability in every situation, forgetting that we are already perfectly balanced beings.

BA GRAPHIC DESIGN

STRAPPAZZON+ECAL

with Angelo Benedetto, Guy Meldem, Sébastian Strappazzon

Workshop with Strappazzon With the aim of broadening the horizons of graphic design students beyond the media traditionally explored during their training, Sebastian Stappazzon, co-founder of AVNIER – one of today's hottest streetwear brands launched in collaboration with French rapper OrelSan – runs a week-long workshop at ECAL. From the proposals imagined by the students, a capsule collection was born, produced in a limited edition. The entire collection will be presented and on sale at an exclusive event on 15 December 2023 at La Rasude in Lausanne.
