Diego Soria – Plano

by Diego Soria

Plano is a pair of furniture pieces exploring how simple, hand-operated actions can change an object's function. Made from Valchromat with aluminum and steel hardware details, the project consists of a shelf and a chair that transform through basic manual mechanisms. The furniture pieces can be used in different ways: either traditionally as a regular storage shelf and a relaxed lounge chair, or reconfigured into a small home office for light work, featuring a small desk and a task chair. Plano focuses on creating straightforward, adaptable pieces that let you easily adapte how you use your immediate space.

with Thélonious Goupil

During this one-week workshop led by Thélonious Goupil, edits were made to a ‘drop false ceiling’ in Bar Gala Lausanne. By hacking the system, playing with existing elements such as lighting or ventilators, the outdate ceiling was given new life without the need for full renovation.

One-Off 1/1

with Augustin Scott de Martinville

For this semester, students were invited to focus on the creation of a “One-Off” of their choice. They were encouraged to free themselves from the issues traditionally associated with industrial design - mass production, costs, market positioning, etc. The project concluded in a silent auction at the ECAL's traditional Christmas Market.
