Zeste

Melchior Myard – Zeste

Zeste is a series of five hybrid objects that combine furniture and physical activity. Designed for students and young professionals living in small spaces, the project addresses both limited living areas and sedentary lifestyles. Far removed from any notion of performance or training, Zeste encourages a more active way of life through brief interactions embedded in everyday routines. Each object combines a furniture function with a natural invitation to move. Distributed throughout the home, they create an indoor activity path that transforms everyday objects into opportunities for movement. The combination of cork, wool, and softly coloured metal creates a warm and calming atmosphere, placing well-being at the heart of the experience rather than performance.

Newspaper 2025-26

with Elric Petit

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.

Museum Trail

with Adrien Rovero

Museum Trail is a project that explores Swiss museums in all their diversity. Rather than focusing solely on the large, well-visited institutions, the project explores what the term "museum" means today in a country that is home to over a thousand museums, one of the highest densities in the world.

Abla Bolassi Owoussi – Mira

by Abla Bolassi Owoussi

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.

Alexandre Li – Diego

by Alexandre Li

Sport has become a key social driver in today’s society, with more and more city dwellers gathering downtown to practice together. Diego is an urban furniture concept designed to tap into this dynamic by bringing football back into the heart of the city. Designed for underused public squares and parks, this project invites people to come together and share public space through sport. With a simple tilt, Diego transforms from a bench into a football goal. Thanks to integrated wheels, it can be easily moved and rearranged to suit the users’ needs. A single module invites spontaneous play, while several combined form a real pitch with goals at each end and seatings for spectators on the side.

Alice Graff – Tijolo

by Alice Graff

In many parts of the Global South, especially in Brazil, building a home sometimes means building it yourself with few tools, limited means, and whatever is at hand. Tijolo was born from this reality. A kit of raw earth bricks, air-dried and made from soil, water, and recycled paper. They interlock in a staggered pattern, without mortar or heavy tools. On their surface, two volumes: designed to clip in cables or pipes no drilling, no breaking. You can change your mind. You can also seal them up, leaving a mark, a rhythm.
