EC Knit is a knitted bed designed for overnight trains, offering a lighter, more ergonomic, and intimate alternative to traditional sleeping compartments. Developed in collaboration with the TextielLab, the TextielMuseum’s professional workshop, this project makes use of 3D-knitted textiles produced on a circular knitting machine. The technique allows for precise control over support zones, adapting to the body's contours with padded areas and more flexible sections. The knit extends into panels that reduce noise, filter light, and create a sense of privacy in shared cabins. By lowering weight and simplifying maintenance, EC Knit is a washable textile system that provides a more comfortable and sustainable way to travel by night.

Newspaper is an industrial design project whose objective is to enable a personal stance on a topic of one’s choice. The project is based on an article taken from a newspaper or a specialized magazine, used as a conceptual and critical starting point. Through the analysis, interpretation, and translation of this written content, the project invites the development of a design reflection, questioning the issues, forms, and uses related to the chosen theme.

Mira is an interior lamp that explores modularity through a pulley system that allows for adjusting light intensity. The lampshade, made of veneer, subtly transforms depending on the position of the mechanism, playing on both light and shape. This project reflects a need for flexibility in the domestic space and reflects a personal research on the evolving object, halfway between discreet technicality and poetic expression of the material.
