INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
ECAL LOCAL
with Christophe Guberan
In collaboration with a local craftsman, the students designed a reusable packaging solution suitable for production in a little series. The project aimed to enhance the value of an everyday food product while addressing current challenges related to transport, sustainability, and the second life of packaging. The intervention had to be simple, functional, and eco-friendly, offering a purpose beyond its original packaging function.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
CITY TREES
with Elric Petit
As part of the CITY TREES project, students were invited to design an object in connection with a tree of their choice within the urban landscape of Lausanne. Drawing inspiration from dendrology, they observed an existing tree and envisioned a subtle, respectful, and reversible intervention. The aim was to highlight the unique characteristics of the tree while ensuring the project harmoniously blended into its surroundings.

Hi-Lo-Fi
with Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard
The first-year students of the Bachelor in Industrial Design (BADI) at ECAL, under the direction of Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, head of BADI, embarked on a project to design their own unique interpretations of a Bluetooth speaker. This project challenged the students to work creatively within the constraints of an existing kit of technical components, encouraging them to explore innovative approaches in terms of form, materiality, and functionality.

PAPER PLAY!
with Clara Von Zweigbergk
Within the PAPER PLAY! workshop, led by Clara von Zweigbergk, students explored the expressive potential of paper and cardboard to reimagine lampshades for ceiling, wall, floor, bedside, table, or handheld lighting. The focus was on experimentation and play — testing the possibilities and limitations of paper, light, color, and form to develop new lighting expressions.
