Fabien Roy – RobustNest According to UNICEF, every year in sub-Saharan Africa, 1.1 million newborns die of hypothermia during their first month of life. Developed in collaboration with EPFL s EssentialTech Centre, “RobustNest” is an incubator for newborns that is adapted to district hospitals. Compact, robust and affordable, “RobustNest” is suited to the transport of patients in vehicles, can withstand frequent power cuts thanks to its thermal battery developed by EPFL and is characterised by components that can be easily replaced locally. This ensures babies are kept warm. fab.roy@hotmail.com https://www.fabienroy.com
Charlotte Therre – Coppia Prix Manufacture De Bethune This project is a study of shapes inspired by the world of Swiss watchmaking and mechanical arts and, more particularly, the precision that certain machining techniques can achieve. The aesthetics of the pieces come directly from the research of explored compositions and the resulting assembly cut-outs. The four pairs of jewellery are designed to be worn separately and are worn intuitively and non-invasively. The production combines both companies and craftspeople specialised in the field of jewellery. therrecharlotte@gmail.com https://www.tiel.ch
Sean Kuhnke – Carte Antique “Carte Antique” is a dysfunctional font family based on the eccentric lettering on French school maps produced in Paris between 1880 and 1970. The earliest maps of this period featured toponyms that were engraved in reverse directly onto zinc plates. The workflow eventually changed, with the text later being lettered in ink and then used to expose specifically primed zinc plates. Regardless of the exact process, these maps share a similar root in the topographic models of the Baton typeface. The new family is applied to a mapping of Lausanne, from the perspective of skateboarders. seankuhnke@gmail.com http://www.seankuhnke.com
Benoît Brun – Karak “A first cut into the sheet… There s no turning back now. It s like choreography. I draw a curve, turn the sheet and continue in the opposite direction. Wow! An interplay of characters and counters appears as if I was creating the yin and yang sign! Well, let me continue back to my first cut. Hmm on reflection, this ‘a looks like a large fellow leaning forward and looking at his belly…” "Karak" is a typeface composed of five styles, which are the result of original material experimentation. It is a journey that recalls the innocence and creative impulse of our youthful days. hello@benoitbrun.com www.benoitbrun.com
Jelena Luise – tip-toeing on blades of glory It is inevitable that after a shared crisis, time will be described as having a before and after. Seeing everything burned to the ground may be disturbing at first but profound transformations are at work. This provides an opportunity to build something new - but what? Expanding on a moment of overwhelming climax, the scope of our imagination is put to the test. The old world is dying and the new world is struggling to be born. Now is the time of monsters.
Vuk Vukmanovic – Soraya Luna (sound) A cinematographic necromancy calls the spectres of the past: by the means of VHS find the spectator submerges into the Berlin family s intimate play of the author s childhood. iamvuk@gmail.com https://www.iamvuk.com Fiction / 24min Synopsis A violent event of death shatters the author in spring 2019. So she start a cinematographic necromancy calling the spectres of the past : by the means of VHS find she submerges into the Berlin family s intimate play of her childhood. An attempt of purification which passes the limites of time, language and space in order to transform a profound wound into something sublime. Student s statement In order to ensure a sound that was both artistically and technically appropriate for my classmates graduation films, I worked closely with all departments involved in the production process, scouting locations, attending rehearsals, and choosing the right equipment. I also helped develop the narrative aspects of one of these projects by adding or taking away layers of music, moods and effects to the sound editing, and then refining this complex soundscape in the mix until it fitted imperceptibly into a larger context.
Ketsia Stocker – Europa (production) Pedro, working in Switzerland, must take one cow to the slaughterhouse at the same time his mother dies in Spain. ketsia.stocker@gmail.com Fiction / 26min Synopsis Pedro, a Spanish worker, lives far from the world on his employer s farm in Switzerland. His mother is in hospital in Spain. Before leaving he has to do one last job: take one of his boss s cows, Europa, to the slaughterhouse. While trying to contact his brother Pedro has a car accident and arrives late to deliver the cow. At that moment, his brother calls him to tell him that his mother has died. His world collapses and he begins a journey in which his only companion will be this cow, next to which he will start to accept the loss. Student s statement As my major is Production, my diploma project was to produce a short film. Drawn by the film project of filmmaker Lucas Rubio, I decided to work together with him. I assisted him in the development of the scenario as well as in the preparation for shooting, selecting sets and the film crew. We had to overcome a few challenges during shooting: the weather conditions made logistics difficult and the cow, a central character, required special attention, adding more constraints to the project.
Lucas Rubio Martinez – Europa (direction) Pedro, working in Switzerland, must take one cow to the slaughterhouse at the same time his mother dies in Spain. lucadelfresno@gmail.com Ficiton / 26mn Synopsis Pedro, a Spanish worker, lives far from the world on his employer s farm in Switzerland. His mother is in hospital in Spain. Before leaving he has to do one last job: take one of his boss s cows, Europa, to the slaughterhouse. While trying to contact his brother Pedro has a car accident and arrives late to deliver the cow. At that moment, his brother calls him to tell him that his mother has died. His world collapses and he begins a journey in which his only companion will be this cow, next to which he will start to accept the loss. Student s Statement This film tells the story of the mourning of a Spanish man in Switzerland while his mother dies in Spain. The news arrives as he is leading one of his boss cows to the slaughterhouse. After he hears about his mother, the destiny of this cow, Europa, is modified by Pedro s story. The two of them begin a journey whose fate is more emotional than physical. The aim of this project is to address the invisible stories of these people who travel through a country that is not their own and who have no one to understand and listen to them.
Sarah Rathgeb – Stray (direction) Joana has just moved in with her boyfriend and her dog Boris. This is an important step in their relationship, a life-changing step.In their new apartment they have everything they need for their future together: except a mattress. sarah.rathgeb@hotmail.com Fiction / 17min Synopsis Joana (30) has just moved in with her boyfriend Timo and their dog Boris. It s an important step in a relationship, a life-changing step. In their new apartmentthey have everything they need: exept a matress. Joana decides to go out and buy one. Confronted with the choice of a new mattress, doubts arise. Joana is no longer sure what she really wants. She begins to have doubts about her decision, her relationship and the world around her. Moments later, she s sitting in the delivery truck with her dog and Antonio, the mattress salesman. Joana doesn t seem to be in a hurry to get home. As it turns out, Antonio doesn t seem to be in a hurry either. He also finds himself facing a major change in his life. His mattress shop is about to close and his future also seems to be full of doubts and uncertainties. Little by little, both of them realize the similarities of their situation. They both find themselves at a point in their lives where they don t know what to do. But if they don t know what to do or where they want to go, one thing unites them, following the dog s example, they will follow their instincts. Student s statement The universe depicted in the film is an absurd one that reveals how we can feel like strangers in the world we live in. We feel humankind s constant plight, torn between hope and despair. The characters run away from all their problems in their own way and avoid getting involved in other people s problems. Existential crises are a central theme of our time. Nowadays, there is constant doubt about the possibility of establishing any meaningful relationship with the world around us.

There, during the preparation of the most important religious festival of the city : the Ecce homo; father and son go to share in solitude, their hatreds for each other. oliviaandreafrey@googlemail.com Fiction / 14min Synopsis Juan Antonio finds his father who is back home after a long absence. There, during the preparation of the most important religious festival of the city : the Ecce homo; father and son go to share in solitude, their hatreds for each other. Student s statement My graduation project consisted of editing the film Ecce homo which was shot in the Colombian city of Popayan and directed by my classmate Santiago Chacon. The film tells the story of the first meeting after many years between a 45-year-old homosexual son and his father, who settle their scores.
Nina Defontaine – Clémente (direction) The portrait of Monique (my grandmother) as i accompany her in the great sorting of her objects (her ghosts) at her family house (Clémente). ninadefontaine@gmail.com https://cargocollective.com/ninaphotographies/cinematographie Documentary / 30mn Synopsis Un portrait de ma grand-mère, Monique, 81 ans, qui tente de se détacher des présences de sa maison, Clémente. En triant, elle s interroge: pourquoi garder ? A travers ces apparitions, elle se raconte au fil des évènements qui ont construit ses idées à propos de la transmission familiale, de la construction du genre et de la liberté. La découverte des films d archives de ma grand-mère me permet d explorer les regards filmiques des femmes de ma famille et de partir à la recherche de ce qui façonne leur vie à l échelle la plus intime. Director s statement After discovering my grandmother s home movies I sought to explore the filmic outlook of the women in my family and find out what shaped their lives on the most intimate scale. I assisted Monique as she began sorting out her whole life, her objects as well as her memories. Images of the past blended with those of her present daily life as I filmed in 16mm what I hoped to keep from her. The film anchors the presences that flow from my grandmother to her world. Together, we address family transmission, gender constructs and motherhood.
Paul Choquet – Tous les chemins (direction) A group of people is searching for an old lady who got lost in the Vaud countryside. paulchoquet@gmail.com Fiction / 18min Synopsis In the Vaud countryside, a group of people is searching for the mother of one of them, an old lady who got lost in the region. During the research, participants make connections that reveal their personal questions. In searching for the missing, everyone is also searching for their place in the community. Director s statement My graduation project is a short film. It tells the story of a search organised by the residents of a village to find the mother of one of them, an old lady who has got lost in the Vaud countryside. During the search the participants build relationships that reveal their own doubts. By looking for the missing person they are also looking for their place in the community. This short film was shot with non-professional actors from the town of Vaulion.
Santiago Chacón – Ecce homo (direction) Juan Antonio finds his father who is back home after a long absence. There, during the preparation of the most important religious festival of the city : the Ecce homo; father and son go to share in solitude, their hatreds for each other. santichacon91@gmail.com Fiction / 14min Synopsis José visits the main church in the city of Popayán, Colombia. The faithful prepare the most important celebration of the Catholic tradition of this place: the procession of the Ecce homo. After his visit, José returns home to his father, Juan Antonio who is back after a long absence. Life brings them together again, but something burns in him. Juan Antonio, a man of brute strength, no longer has the physical strength that accompanied him throughout his life. He and José, who grew up under his strong and conservative authority, will confront each other and let themselves be led by love and hate. During this meeting, José will allow himself for the first time to participate in the procession of the Ecce homo, which his father always forbade him to go to because the celebration is only for men and for Juan Antonio he is not a real man. Student s Commentaire Ecce Homo has gone through me deeply. From its conception, the project questioned me about my life, my ancestors and the city where I come from. It also questioned me about the way I relate to my family, to those around me; it made me understand with love their thoughts, but it also confronted them, opposed them and finally healed them. I want to make films to understand myself and the things around me and, from this understanding, make films as a way of healing, a remedy.
Malou Briand – Dalia (screenplay) From the 2007 presidential elections to the emergence of the #MeToo movement, from the suburbs to the French capital, “Dalia” traces the journey of a young woman in the contemporary world. It is a story of friendship and of upward social mobility. maloubriand@gmail.com Feature film screenplay (100 min) Languages: French/Berber Synopsis From the 2007 presidential elections to the emergence of the #MeToo movement, from the suburbs to the French capital, “Dalia” traces the journey of a young woman in the contemporary world. It is a story of friendship and of upward social mobility.
Rodolphe Pupille – Tilt “Tilt” is a shoe rack made of birch plywood. The two-way mirror front enables users to see themselves while providing a showcase for the shoes on display. The opening direction of the drawer is adjustable, meaning the “Tilt” shoe rack can be placed in a corner or in the middle of a wall. The inside of the drawer is lined with linoleum as a reference to collectable furniture. The neutral background enhances the details of each shoe while protecting the wood. Finally, a gradation in the opacity of the mirror highlights the worn pair, as a reinterpretation of angled shoe mirrors in shoe shops.
Leila Farra – Traces “Traces” is a collection of paintbrushes made out of rattan and horsehair. The idea behind this research was to experiment with the tools. Movement, the design of the handle and the hair position influenced the result. The first tests on paper led to experiments on fabric, resulting in a series of painted textiles whose patterns stem directly from the brushstrokes. This project enabled me to immerse myself into two ancestral crafts, wickerwork and paintbrush manufacturing, which I was then able to merge to create a collection between art and design.
Nadia El-Hindi – Chef ! Immersion into the highly codified world of cutlery made me discover the delicate and threatening duality of knives. Guided by my observations of the forms and details relating to steel work, I chose to open up the boundaries of this field with the help of a craftsman. Thus, I created “Chef!”, a line of kitchen knives that combines the intelligence of craftsmanship with the precision of the industry. The steel blade, protected by a natural anti-corrosive treatment called “seasoning”, is attached to the handle thanks to assembly that is directly inspired by hammers.
Alix Doussot – Beach Access System In 2015, a French law required public places to be made accessible to everyone. Considered sensitive due to its nature, the sea shore was not subjected to the same measures as in cities. This system provides access to sand and water for everyone, including people with reduced mobility, throughout the year, while establishing permanent boundaries between transit areas and areas to preserve. The whole system is made up of three types of wooden floor and steel elements that facilitate movement and that can withstand the harsh coastal weather conditions.
Thibault Villard – Those who care to know each other (photography) Two figures meet in a pitch black room to make love. Once the lights are on, Lucien and Anton are faced with their differences but are drawn even closer together. Fiction / 18 min Synopsis West Lausanne – 2020. A Grindr encounter sees two men meet in an apartment, leading to unusual nocturnal reflections on youth and love. Comment I designed the film s tones in relation to a cinematic period that is dear to me, in line with Christopher Doyle and Jean-Yves Escoffier. The film is dark and somewhat expressionist. Nowadays, if you use digitally assisted workflows, cinema photography can quickly become bland, which is why I was not afraid to play with the limits of the camera. Thibault Villard
Thibault Rodrigues – Taking the desert (editing) Cevennes, 1702. In a totalitarian political state, four men take up arms. Fiction / 14 min Commentaire My graduation project consisted of editing Noémie Guibal s film. The main experience of this film editing was to find, in the narrowness of a collaboration interrupted by coronavirus hazards, the strength of a shared desire to give the film the space and time it required. Rhythm. Fluidity. Slowness. Shock. Structure. Balance. Acts. Discourse. These are some of the many tools that enabled us to manage the film s “respiration”. Leaving behind the order of the script to find in the freshness of the rushes, the film s coherent disorder. Thibault Rodrigues
Fanny Reynaud – Nebraska (photography) The movie tells two stories that temporalities each other ultimately : the encounter between a Swiss farmer and a Portuguese traveler, and a cow s pregnancy. Fiction / 20 min Synopsis Lost in the mountains, surrounded by his cows, André works hard on the farm. His daily life suddenly takes a new turn when he meets Rafaele, a passing man who speaks Portuguese. Not sharing the same language, the two men try to communicate by means other than speech. The illness of one of the cows, Nebraska, and the impending birth of her calf, unites them by a common sensitivity. Comment My major is Filming at ECAL s Film Studies Department and my graduation project therefore consisted of being director of photography for a film made by one of my fellow students, Lou-Théa Papaloïzos, and monitoring its production from the early days of preparing the film all the way to grading. The film in question tells the story of André, a farmer who raises Swiss cows, and Rafaele, a young Portuguese man crossing Switzerland to join his brother in Germany. The film subtly exposes the attraction that the two men feel for each other, bathed in the gentleness of the animal world. Fanny Reynaud
Nikita Merlini – Rondinella Staying with her mother after the fire, Sofia dreams of freedom. But the smell of smoke doesn t leave.. Fiction / 24 min / Mention Very good Synopsis After their house burns down, 18-year-old Sofia and her mother Carla have to live together in a small room at « The Little Swallow Hotel ». Sofia explores the building and meets new inspiring people. A thousand opportunities seem to open up for her. Carla, on the other hand, has to get used to the idea of her daughter leaving. In this closed-door environment, mother and daughter try to find a new balance in their relationship. Comment A mother and her daughter in a hotel room, a few meters from what was their house... gone up in smoke, taking their common past with them. The film, like a parenthesis in this place of transit that is "La Rondinella", where strangers meet and make memories, spaces of intimacy, a place where Sofia and her mother seek to rebuild, with the fragility and awkwardness that characterize the love that binds a daughter to her mother. Nikita invests the enclosed space by the character, Sofia, formidably interpreted by Elena Stoll, who bewitches us by her presence, her face at the same time babyish and feminine, and with whom Nikita continues his collaboration. Sofia draws us into her boredom, her expectations, her encounters, her solitary wanderings, but above all into her impulse for life and renewal. For Rondinella is also the portrait of this youth, full of dreams and obstacles. Nikita Merlini directs a sensitive, delicate, hypnotic film that seizes time. This vulnerable time. The time of childhood. The time of emancipation. The time of suffocating, yet unfailing love. Elsa Amiel / Director
Théodora Menthonnex – Tarmac / Nebraska (sound) My graduation project consisted of doing the sound recording for two films, one in the heart of the Swiss mountains, the other in the hustle and bustle of the city. Fictions / 20 min / 21 min Comments My graduation project consisted of doing the sound recording for two films, one in the heart of the Swiss mountains, the other in the hustle and bustle of the city. Having chosen fundamentally opposing projects, I was able to learn to aid and enhance the narrative through sound. Lou-Théa Papaloizos film focuses on the unspoken, which we must feel. We sought a connection with intimacy, organic matters and the body. For Rodrigo Munoz s project we represented the inner universe of a child through the singular treatment of sound: asynchronous, resonant, magic. Théodora Menthonnex
Nora Longatti – Strangers A young woman challenges the daily grind with an unusual habit: getting in touch with strangers. Fiction / 20 mn Synopsis A young woman collapses in the midst of an anonymous city. Strangers go by or bend over her. Strangers is a silent research on resonance in a world of passerbys. Comment An almost silent wide shot opens the film on a gray building, the entrance to number 36, framed by two balconies with sloping umbrellas. At the bottom of the building a form lies, we discover that it is a young woman... when she gets up. The narration repeats itself, slowly, the sets change at the rhythm of the falls, the camera is of a voluntary stability, it films like the witness of an external glance; the carefully chosen settings are graphic, of a beautiful sobriety, playing on a range of cold colors nuanced with some warm notes, the light is natural, everything is clean and simple. This young woman falls - syncope fainting loss of consciousness abandonment? We don t know. She fades away from time for the space of a glance, she melts on the material until she finds herself on the ground, whether it is outside or inside, she collapses gently either with her head resting on a shoulder, or wrapped in arms, or brooded, or embraced, by human beings who, while being delicate, will watch over her until she wakes up, always silent and motionless, they will respect her temporality until she returns to movement. She finds the movement again, falls again, the narration repeats itself, her collapses punctuate the film like the refrain of a sweet lullaby. Hush! Let her fall. Stéphane Lévy, DOP
Lucas Giordano – Askêsis Two imprisoned brothers, with no dreams or realities, seek a bit of air to breathe. Fiction / 21 min Synopsis Two imprisoned brothers, with no dreams or realities, seek a bit of air to breathe. What must die suffocates. What wishes to live hopes. A tunnel opens in front of them. They fall into it, sink into it, forget themselves into it. A light shrouds them, then eternity.
Aurel Ganz – Montana 1977 (photography) Rey and Moretti are two undercover narc in the middle of a police operation in the Swiss mountains of Valais. It s during a routine operation that one of them will do a terrible mistake and together they will have to escape from this difficult situation. Fiction / 20 min Comment A crime film set in Switzerland in the 1970s: the project for which I worked in close collaboration with Kimyan Flückigeris as promising as it is ambitious. The role of director of photography was both creative, involving a lot of freedom, and crucial in recreating the atmosphere of the 1970s. My dream of shooting with anamorphic lenses fitted well with the atmosphere of the film and enabled me to push the film s aesthetics quite far. After a lot of work, the project marked the pinnacle of my three years of studies which ended in an explosion of joy. Aurel Ganz
Kimyan Flückiger – Montana – 1977 A short film by Kimyan Flückiger Fiction / 20 min Synopsis Rey and Moretti are two undercover narc in the middle of a police operation in the swiss moutains of Vallais. It s during a routine operation that one of them will do a terrible mistake and together they will have to escape from this difficult situation. Comment As a fan of genre cinema, I undertook the project of making a crime film that takes place in 1977. The narrative focuses on two narcotics officers who have committed murder. The short film is set in Valais. I sought to evoke 1970s American cinema through the western and film noir genres. I used these different “codes” to create my own cinematic universe and participate in the development of genre film in Switzerland. Kimyan Flückiger
Natasha Degrandi – Imperial (editing) At dawn, a cannon shatters the silence. The horses gallop across the beaten ground. Eva, 21, wants to join the Imperial HorseGuards, a historical reenactment of a Napoleonic regiment reserved for men. Documentary / 22 min Comment My graduation project consisted of editing Coline Confort s short documentary “Impériale” and writing a dissertation addressing the manipulation and ethics of documentary editing. “Impériale” is a short documentary film that tells the story of Eva, a young girl who has to dress up as a man in order to live her imperial dream of joining the cavalry of Napoleon Bonaparte s Grande Armée. This work led me to better understand the specificities of documentary film writing, as well as the confrontation we might have with our imagination and reality. Natasha Degrandi
Coline Confort – Imperial (direction) At dawn, a cannon shatters the silence. The horses gallop across the beaten ground. Eva, 21, wants to join the Imperial HorseGuards, a historical reenactment of a Napoleonic regiment reserved for men. Documentary / 22 min Synopsis At dawn, a cannon shatters the silence. The horses gallop across the beaten ground. Eva, 21, wants to join the Imperial HorseGuards, a historical reenactment of a Napoleonic regiment reserved for men. In search of romance, she conceals her identity so that she can set her foot in the stirrup //(climb into the saddle), defying a 200-year-old ban. In this world of powder and smoke, Eva finally finds herself as she had always dreamed: ‘a handsome soldier beside a beautiful princess. Comment There are films that take a long time to be found, others that are born of an obviousness. One cannot say which is preferable. One cannot tell by looking at a film if its trajectory was eventful or peaceful. What counts is its impact on the present and the trace it leaves. Imperial has known versions of the script very different from the finished film. But these variants have nourished Coline s reflection, and this documentary carries within it all the others that were not made. Like layers. As if it had taken all these detours to finally manage to tell us a simple story, one of those that always thrill us, a story of desire and love. We can notice the great maturity in the management of the duration of the shots, the beauty of the frames and the attention given to the light. The almost feverish look at her character, while at the same time a great determination in the way she accompanies her. Eva s trajectory is simple and fluid in its accomplishment, and this simplicity (so difficult to achieve) is movingly beautiful. As can be the look of Eva on a young girl who is enough to put "a little glitter in her life". Laurent Larivière / Director
Fanny Mersmann – Le petit bout manquant rencontre le grand O Film animation, in my artistic work and research, was initiated by my interest in flip-books and children s books throughout art history. Inspired by stories like El Lissitzky s “About 2 Squares” and Niele Toroni s “L Histoire de Lapin Tur”, I decided to work on how to recount a painting or an artistic approach through children s stories.

Anouk Maupu – Sain uu ? Nomingerel, Egshiglen, Bayarjavkhlan, Oyun-Erdene and Enkhmaa are between 13 and 18 years old and live in Khatgal, a village in northern Mongolia. For several months, they have filmed their daily lives with their smartphones, delivering a portrait of a changing country through their teenage eyes. This film, made remotely, addresses our relationship to documentary practice, the dematerialisation of human relations, collective work and the circulation of images.
Sarah Coppet – A un autre soleil A un autre soleil addresses reflections on the transmission of land and stories, and on the relationship between France and the West Indies. The film relates a family story that takes place in the south of Martinique: the sale by one of the heirs of a major piece of land that leads to the family home being lost. Gathered in a stark environment in France, the West Indian characters take hold of this story and seek to tell it.

Official Press Release: FormSWISS Exhibition An exhibition introducing the current scope of design and its thinking, envisioned by Swiss design of today. We are delighted to announce that our global design platform “Form” has launched. Form interactively communicates diverse cultural values from a design perspective, both inside and outside of Japan. The first focus of the Form series is Switzerland, a nation that has made great contributions to the development of modern design. “FormSWISS” visited Switzerland, and interviewed about 30 designers, schools and museums in the field of design. We will hold a design exhibition in Japan co-organized with Embassy of Switzerland in Japan and Doors to Switzerland called FormSWISS which focuses on Swiss visual communication design, its design thinking, and the Swiss designer s way of life. FormSWISS will exhibit works by designers representing Swiss graphic design, typography and motion graphics. It will also include valuable interviews conducted on-location in Switzerland. FormSWISS will feature panel discussions between Japanese and Swiss designers, and offer several design collaborations featuring the work of Swiss designers, which will be available at the exhibition. FormSWISS participants include: Alfio Mazzei, Balmer Hählen, ECAL, CCRZ, Futur Neue, Gavillet & Cie, Hubertus Design, Jannuzzi Smith, Kasper-Florio, Notter+Vigne, Simone Cavadini, Studio Feixen, Supero, Swiss Typefaces and ZHdK. We hope that FormSWISS will inspire visitors to consider how the topics presented and design itself can enrich your creative life.

Collaboration with SAMSUNG Research project for the Mobile phones department at Samsung, South Korea. Collaboration led par Xavier Perrenoud, under the supervision of Erwan Bouroullec, and realized by MAS in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship students. The result was a catalogue of ideas and inspirations for the brand s teams. Galaxy Mirror Carson Hong Escaping from the [magical] digital world where everything is controlled by the user s voice – the idea for the project first came from observing the way people interact with others and objects. Galaxy Mirror is a communication accessory connecting family members through a human-friendly medium, stemming from research on universal human means of communication. Inspired by universal experiences and powered by today s technology, Galaxy Mirror is at the nexus of human communications and the home environment. Smart Stand Charles Gastaud This lamp consists of two main elements: the base, which can be used as a [Ed1] , and an articulated lampshade, in which a projector is hidden. When the projector is oriented directly towards its base, the device can simply be used as a connected lamp. The colour of the light can be changed or dimmed, but it also has additional functionality as an alarm clock display and to read messages, emails or notifications, among others. The lampshade can also be rotated in different ways in order to project onto a wall or the ceiling and allows a broader use similar to that of a standard projector, such as viewing videos, photos, presentations, etc. Haptic Tactility Charlotte Therre This work is a research project on how installing haptic sensors together with textures under a soft surface (upholstered fabric for example) could functionally activate a digital response upon being touched, scrolled up/down, tapped, etc. It is a broad concept that shows how haptic texture hidden under a soft surface could enhance the user´s experience and interactivity with an interface or appliance without using a (visible) remote control or a keyboard. With an instinctive gesture, one can manipulate software, dimming, levels, a screen, etc. Aiming to empower the user and their senses in terms of a space or a specific action, the haptic texture itself is imperceptible unless a light pressure is applied, allowing a fully discreet, minimal and integrated flat surface on an object or within an environment. Envelope Chia-Ling Chang Soft charging for devices through a tender gesture — putting it into a see-through envelope — which allows you to take your devices anywhere and access them even when they are charging inside. The induction components are arranged in and covered by transparent materials such as Tyvek, Japanese paper and various types of TPU. This project thus explores new uses relating to our devices while arousing more haptic senses. The choice of materials also addresses sustainability concerns. When the devices are activated, the UI and motion graphics interact withthe envelope s translucent properties, creating a surprising experience and opening up the possibility for our devices to be more than just screens. Reconciling Duality Daejoong Kim The design of mobile phones is becoming increasingly smooth and simple. UX design appears to be the priority in design nowadays, and it is a direction that I do not like. This project, imagined for Korean brand Samsung, aims to take a stand against this trend towards smoothness. We all like to make physical contact with the texture of objects we use daily.With this project, the goal is to develop a new, simplified vision of mobile phones that would interact with a new UI design. The cover has patterns and textures that aim to foster touch, feel, and minimalism. Units Ebony Lerandy & Pierre-Antoine Berthy Units is a research project on different ways to experience Samsung earbuds. Through several earbud box proposals, it aims to create new user interactions and wearable options, with particular attention to materials and colours. Exploring shapes and playfulness, this project presents alternatives to the current way of wearing earbuds. Mechanical Emotion Fernando Rivero We all communicate with our devices all the time. But they are usually static. People communicate with each other in much more complex ways. Non-verbal communication is part of our everyday lives, and certain gestures can provide a lot of information and feedback. How about giving our devices the ability to look at us when we want them to? To turn up when we get a notification? To answer us with gestures? To allow us to use them remotely without touching them? What if we turn our devices into robots? This exercise involved making an animated base for mobile devices to connect to, along with the accompanying interface. These two elements work together to generate different movements and gestures that allow us to complement the communication experience with our mobile devices. Watch Cases Luca Gruber & Paula Chacartegui This project aims to propose new possibilities regarding how to integrate wearable technologies in our everyday lifestyle through natural interactions and better personalization options. The scenarios studied encompass fashion-oriented and active lifestyles, leading to a total of three devices: Loop, Necklace and Clip. All concepts enhance the possibilities of different CMF combinations and device-wearing options. Animated modifiable graphics complete the individual aesthetic of each piece.

Anja Karolina Furrer – Overturn/Überturm Our system is a fragile construct. The project examines the outlook on the outside world, shows traces of de- cayed architecture, and reveals fine and fragile constructions and thus our desire for an intimate space, a place in society. Metaphorically, the still lifes show the individual manipulation of artefacts. At the same time they reflect the medium itself and show direct physical confrontation with the material in a spontaneous, light-hearted way. The work is presented in a spatial installation, in order to create a photographic situation and a connection between image and material.
Aurore Péry – Passerines “Passerines” is a short animated film that addresses the notion of cycle in the environment, through the theme of bird migration and its deterioration in relation to various aspects of human activity. Inspired by educational films and wildlife documentaries, this project aims to raise awareness of our impact on our environment through a loop that our actions influence and which deteriorates with time. Between contemplative scenes and explanations, this short film is an invitation to question our relationship to our environment. Prix BG Ingénieurs Conseils
Basile Fournier – Read only Memory “Read only Memory” is a speculative and fictitious design project that describes the concept of mind uploading through photographic images of landscapes taken by my grandfather, that symbolise his memories. It takes the form of a short film, with the aim of imagining how the transfer of a memory could be created and transformed into digital data that one could re-experience endlessly.
ECAL at Sculpture Garden, Geneva – Le cours de l eau,18.06–30.09.2020,Parc des Eaux-Vives, Geneva On the occasion of the Geneva Biennial: Sculpture Garden organized by artgenève and the MAMCO (curator of the exhibition: Balthazar Lovay) until 30 September 2020, students in 2nd year Bachelor Industrial Design from ECAL present a Bisse project in the Parc des Eaux-Vives. No doubt you have already walked, or dreamt of walking, along a Bisse in Canton Valais. A Bisse is a historical irrigation channel, many of which run through the idyllic Alpine landscape. Perhaps it was this romantic notion that inspired the National Exhibition of 1896 to recreate and display a “Mazot”, a typical wooden Alpine hut, albeit conveying a rather stereotypical idea of Switzerland. This larch wood hut, which could be considered as a forerunner of the circular economy, has been given a new lease of life for passersby to admire in the Eaux-Vives park. Is it a decorative object? Is it nostalgic? Or maybe folklore? The 2nd year Bachelor Indus-trial Design students at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, under the supervision of programme director Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard and their professor Adrien Rovero, have chosen to recreate the architecture of a traditional Bisse. This construction is also made of larch wood and includes several surprising features, starting with a viewing platform, a map of Lake Geneva, a water mirror and a simple bench to sit and contemplate a basic element: the flow of water. This project brings us closer to nature and makes sense in today s world where traditional values and local sourcing are being revived.
