STRAPPAZZON+ECAL

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.

Know-how
soft goods / accessories, Fashion, Textile

Under his direction, and with the support of Guy Meldem and the assistance of Inès Barrionuevo, we invited students to work on the creation of a complete outfit, including a cap, tracksuit, t-shirt and socks. In the course of this collaboration, the idea of developing a joint capsule collection between his eponymous brand STRAPPAZZON and ECAL emerged naturally. This initiative enabled Bachelor Graphic Design students to delve into the world of streetwear, learn about textile printing techniques and immerse themselves in a constantly evolving creative sector.

The proposals imagined by the students were then carefully selected to create a coherent, surprising capsule collection, perfectly reflecting the zeitgeist. The collection will be produced in a limited edition and will go on sale shortly.

The entire collection will be presented and on sale at an event in Lausanne, Switzerland, in early December 2023.

REVERSIBLE JACKET 1020 & PANT 1020 are the first pieces in this exclusive collection and are available for pre-order until midnight on Monday, September 25, 2023.

Sven Abplanalp – M–W256

Sven Abplanalp – M–W256

with Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Christian Spiess, Maddalena Casadei

“M–W256” is a project that started as a comprehensive analysis of fasteners from the textile industry. This research led me to work on the idea of symmetry through connectors while exploiting its advantages. Suited to a variety of daily situations and designed for urban mobility, “M–W256” is a bag that offers versatility. Developed specifically for this portable item, the androgynous clip enables the user to connect straps in many different configurations for greater adaptability.

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.

ECAL x FREITAG - Access over ownership

with Christophe Guberan

Second-year industrial design students collaborated with Zurich-based brand FREITAG Lab, leveraging their expertise in environmental awareness, material upcycling, and the circular economy. Using the FREITAG manifesto as a foundation, they developed new shared products centered on the principle of "access over ownership."  
Charitini Gkritzali – Topology of a Body

Charitini Gkritzali – Topology of a Body

by Charitini Gkritzali

Deriving inspiration from 20th century orthopaedic braces, Topology of a Body is a series of body jewellery items that closely conform to the human anatomy and resemble the body’s structural elements. Each piece is composed by solid geometrical shapes and organic curves that are created with silver or steel wire. The thickness of the wire is altered in a dynamic rhythm, highlighting the morphology of the body. The metal structure, which is carefully designed to envelop the human figure, ultimately takes on a sculptural form. Just like orthopaedic braces, the pieces of jewellery are designed to allow the body to move, yet seem to keep it in a constant state of immobility. This paradox eventually raises a question: do these objects enable or restrain the body’s movements?
