Eleanor

Sophia Zeller – Eleanor

A dress designed to be worn long after the wedding day, offering a solution to wear and re-wear your memories, in a sustainable way. Eleanor is the result of research on textile waste in the wedding dress industry. Simply moving the skirt along the garments' buttons transforms it so it can effortlessly be used for various events during the ceremony. By dying and changing its color post-wedding, Eleanor unveils the myrtle flower pattern printed on the fabric, ready to be worn without a bridal appearance. No longer confined to closets and attics, this dress embodies sustainability by reducing textile waste. Crafted from 100% deadstock silk and designed as a mono-material garment, it follows a zero-waste pattern criteria.

Damien Barman – Terrasse en place

by Damien Barman

Modular Parking Terrace. Designed for restaurants that temporarily occupy parking spaces during the summer, this modular terrace offers a standardized alternative to custom-built installations. It is a reusable solution that can be adapted to different locations and expanded when needed. The terrace is composed of half-parking-space modules that connect together to fit a variable number of parking spaces. It features a fabric roof that unfolds accordion-style along rails using a rope system, allowing it to be opened or closed from the end of the terrace without disturbing users. Fully demountable for easy winter storage, the structure is made of galvanized steel, while the flooring is constructed from maritime pine panels.

Laura Cipriano – Roll3

by Laura Cipriano

Roll3 is a universally adjustable pair of 3D glasses that explores a new way of inhabiting vision. Flexible, rollable, and made from a single material, it adapts to different face shapes as well as to the wearing of prescription glasses. It replaces traditional temples with a support system based on gentle pressure at the temples, allowing for quick and intuitive placement, either directly on the face or over other glasses. Made from PET, it simplifies manufacturing and facilitates recycling at the end of its life cycle. In a context where around 640,000 pairs of 3D glasses were used in Switzerland in 2025 and 81% of the population wears some form of visual aid, Roll3 questions the sustainability of these ephemeral objects and their potential for transformation.
