ECAL X KVADRAT - SUIT UP

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

ECAL X KVADRAT - SUIT UP

with Stephane Halmai-Voisard

For this project, the students had to design a seat, or rather requalify and rehabilitate a chair or armchair using existing models such as the monobloc, aluminium bistro chair, or deck chair, as the base structure. Employing Kvadrat upholstery textiles, the designs had to be reversible, meaning it should not alter the existing structure. While the original function of the chair could be maintained or altered, the proposals aimed to improved the comfort and aesthetic character of the seats.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Nuancier

with Julie Richoz

"Nuancier (n.m.): A presentation tool displaying the colors and shades of a product." — Larousse definition For this project, the students created and developed their own shades, surfaces, assemblies or materials, which they then shaded in several samples and assembled to create their own nuancier.

In Situ

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

In Situ

with Elric Petit

For this project, students were asked to design architectural interventions taking into account the characteristics of a precisely chosen location. They had to select an inspiring building in which to integrate their work, with a view to improving its functionality or protecting it from wear and tear. As part of this exercise, students were asked to act like "surgeons", adapting their projects to the "body" of the building, like prostheses. The projects had to be removable, with no permanent attachment to the site.

Fill It, Pour It, Drink It

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Fill It, Pour It, Drink It

with Tomas Kral

Small, medium and large. For this project, students were asked to develop a coherent family of three vessels, or simply three independent containers, each with a different volume for holding, transporting and pouring liquids. Each object had to fit into a specific context, defined by the students at the beginning of the project.
