Oriana Gonzalez Fernandez – Enveloppe – 2025 #2

by Oriana Gonzalez Fernandez

Today, cafés have become popular workspaces — but this shift brings challenges. Customers often occupy tables for extended periods, and most venues lack accessible charging ports. While some cafés have introduced 60-minute limits on laptop use, these rules are difficult to enforce. Elio offers a solution : a compact device offered by the café that tracks time with a ring of LED lights and provides a USB-C port for charging laptops and mobile devices, functioning as a portable battery. Its smooth, rounded form is tactile and stackable on a shared charging base. Managed through an app, Elio allows cafés to customize usage settings, offering a balance between customer comfort and efficient space management.

Toscane Jourde – Enveloppe – 2025

by Toscane Jourde

Enveloppe is an extendable table whose transformation affects its size, shape, and materiality. When closed, it serves everyday needs: a rectangular laminate table for four. When opened, it becomes a diamond-shaped oak table for eight to ten guests. This project extends a reflection developed in the designer's thesis on the notion of the collective — both as a value embedded in daily life and as a condition for creation. Enveloppe also explores spatial economy and the way furniture can influence human (social) interactions.

Titouan Longatte – Volut

by Titouan Longatte

Conceived as a response to noise pollution in urban environments, Volut is a window shutter that incorporates acoustic insulation to shield living spaces from external disturbances. The insulation is provided by removable panels that block noise by absorbing sound waves. The panels pivot to allow light and air into the room while preserving their acoustic properties. The structure relies on standard aluminium profiles and sheet metal, enabling easy adaptation to different window dimensions and seamless integration into façade frames. The shutters are devoid of any superfluous elements; the hardware is concealed within the profiles, resulting in a minimal architectural element that evokes silence both visually and acoustically.

Maëlle Roten – Loo

by Maëlle Roten

Loo is a collection of three summer shoes entirely made of knit, including the sole. The project explores the possibilities of ornamental knitting by repurposing decorative stitches to reveal their structural and functional qualities. The upper combines a dense and elastic garter stitch for support with an openwork knit that allows air to circulate, ideal for the summer season. Thanks to the bubble stitch, the jute sole gains volume, durability, and comfort. Each bubble acts like a cushion of material, and their repetition creates a textured profile. Inspired by moccasins and espadrilles, Loo blends an artisanal look with industrial production potential. Their crochet assembly allows easy disassembly, extending their lifespan and facilitating recycling.

Lélie Guiochet – Colette

by Lélie Guiochet

Colette speaks of an intimate object worn directly against the skin, and yet one we abandon without remorse: the bra. It is an object that becomes obsolete, that is not resold second-hand and that is only rarely recycled. It accompanies us only for a few years, before wearing out or becoming too small. So Colette imagines a system that adjusts over time: a bra made of separate parts, cups, underband, straps, fasteners, underwire, to assemble, replace independently, readjust and personalize. The different parts are 3D-knitted, seamless and industrially compostable. The underwire and the fasteners, for their part, are infinitely recyclable. It is no longer the bust that adapts to the object, but the object that evolves with it.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Mael Sandoz – Staccato

by Mael Sandoz

Staccato is an articulated desk lamp with magnetic connectors. The connectors that make up the joints of this lamp operate through a system of notched wheels held in place by magnets, offering a wide range of motion. These magnets also serve to transfer electrical current from one end of the articulated arms to the other. The arms are assembled simply by magnetic attraction, so no screws, springs, or welding are required. The base, on the other hand, is made from conductive plastic, which allows the lamp to be turned on and off with a simple touch. The result is a simple, sleek lamp that requires minimal assembly and offers solid, durable joints with no risk of breakage.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Isaure Nicolet – Doll Chair

by Isaure Nicolet

Doll Chair is a seat imagined as a body to be dressed. Each textile element is independent, buttoned onto the structure, forming a collection of interchangeable cushions. The fabric, draped rather than stretched, echoes the familiar gesture of covering a seat to hide its wear. This chair reverses traditional hierarchies: here, visible finishes become structure, and dressing becomes a ritual. Inspired by the intimate gestures of the boudoir, Doll Chair extends a reflection on the object in a state of transformation—between model and furniture.

Aurélien Clerc – Mirabilis

by Aurélien Clerc

Mirabilis is a research project focused on educational optical instruments designed for naturalist observation. Each tool in this collection is dedicated to a different field of exploration: what lies in the distance, what is very small, and what can be found beneath the surface. It represents a shift in how we look at nature, this time in a literal sense, through visual instruments aimed at supporting curious observers of fauna and flora. The collection includes a monocular, a hand lens, and an aquascope, each of which plays with the principles of optical physics while also illustrating its properties with an educational intent.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

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.

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.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Jacobo Zunzunegui – Ermita

by Jacobo Zunzunegui

"Poverty, Silence, and Order," is the title of my thesis in which I explore the intentional simplicity in Western Monasticism. As a continuation, I designed Ermita, three micro cabins situated along the "Camino de Santiago," a pilgrimage route renowned for fostering introspection. Each cabin is constructed using local masonry techniques from three distinct regions, preserving and promoting these rich but declining construction methods. An important feature of these cabins is the integration of all furniture into the fourth wall, made from wood. These compact shelters offer spaces for sleeping, reading, writing, and warming up, while also creating an atmosphere conducive to silence and contemplation — elements that our modern society still deeply needs.

Cindy Sacher – Toison

by Cindy Sacher

The energy required to maintain thermal comfort is often underestimated. Toison addresses the projected decline in fossil energy resources and rising consumer costs. In rental buildings, where renovations are challenging and costly, conventional heating methods still prevail, often proving economically unfeasible for tenants. Toison proposes a minimalist partition system, inspired by traditional European fabric wall coverings and Japanese fusuma and shōji. Using thick Swiss wool felt panels that slide into extruded aluminum rails, this system is easy to mount on any ceiling. These partitions insulate exterior walls and allow users to divide living spaces, enhancing heat insulation. Each panel can be further customized with a range of tailor-made accessories.

Jeanne Reymond – Capite

by Jeanne Reymond

I grew up in Chardonne, Lavaux, surrounded by vineyards. With a winemaker brother, I’ve always been immersed in wine culture. In Vaud, small vineyard cabins called capites once served as tool sheds or shelters. Today, about 1200 of these capites are unused. Since March 2024, winegrowers can sell wine directly in vineyards and renovate capites to welcome visitors. My project introduces a wooden façade system to easily renovate these capites to host a few people, adaptable to various sizes. Given Lavaux’s UNESCO status, the façade is discreet when closed but opens in one move to become visible from afar when open for tastings. Each façade features the local commune’s flag. The goal is to promote wine tourism in Lavaux offering an intimist tasting in the heart of wine.

Virginie Lienhart – Quack

by Virginie Lienhart

Quack is a collection of three nesting platforms for ducks in ports, aiming to minimise human-wildlife conflicts and preserve local biodiversity. The project began with observing duck behaviour in ports, consulting an ornithologist, and interviewing harbour masters about the "duck-boat owner" conflict resulting from water birds nesting on boats. These insights guided the design of prototypes tested during mating and nesting season, revealing that ducks preferred sheltered platforms close to the water level. The final collection includes a cork half-nest with an open deck, a concave plastic foam nest with a circular deck, and a wooden platform with a central cut-out for floating nests. Each platform offers various benefits and enables deeper research into ducks' preferences and behaviours.

Lena Bernasconi – WWW

by Lena Bernasconi

The majority of objects are designed on male standards and therefore are unsuitable for women. This issue translates into objects that discriminate female users, being uncomfortable and even dangerous. That’s specially tangible for personal protective equipment (masks, glasses, protective clothing and shoes) : unsuitable equipment protects less, impairs the tasks and can even injure the workers. WWW (Women Work Wear) are work pants designed by and for women that aim to fill this gender gap. Designed specifically for women woodworkers such as carpenters and cabinetmakers, these pants offer a new aesthetic and provide comfort, adaptability, flexibility and of course protection.
