ECAL Digital Market Project
ECAL Digital Market

ECAL Digital Market In partnership with the 3D printing company Formlabs, ECAL Master Product Design students present a range of innovative everyday life objects, produced through a print farm within the exhibition and sold directly on site. Projects from ECAL faculty and alumni are also available. The concept was imagined by Camille Blin, head of the Master Product Design, and Christophe Guberan, ECAL tutor. ECAL has turned Spazio Orso 16, a 17th century Milanese palazzo, into a contemporary production site and retail shop inspired by a new vision of digital manufacturing. Lately, most of the product design research into 3D printing has been focusing on new technologies and the shapes they can generate. The idea of this project is to present digital manufacturing as an industrial production tool thanks to a print farm composed of numerous machines printing the same pieces simultaneously. “ECAL Digital Market” offers functional and well-designed everyday objects, created by Master Product Design students as well as by a selection of ECAL-related designers (faculty members and alumni). The project looks into the possibilities of production on demand. It examines the changing environment of manufacturing processes, it emphasizes how fast and transparent today s design industry could become, and experiments with new design details that are too intricate to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques. Finally, “ECAL Digital Market” highlights the role of the designer in this new production cycle. Thanks to the 3D printers and know-how provided by Formlabs, a large variety of objects such as combs, tape dispensers, mechanical pencils, shoehorns, coat hooks, scissors, spinning tops, shelves and many more are produced and sold on site by the students. The digital files of the objects can also be purchased online:  www.ecal-digital-market.ch In partnership with the 3D printing company Formlabs, ECAL Master Product Design students present a range of innovative everyday life objects, produced through a print farm within the exhibition and sold directly on site.

HD Images Brochure with explanations Picasso, Giacometti, ECAL. Some projects sometimes give rise to what may first seem to be unlikely associations. In this case, it turned out for the best. The Musée national Picasso-Paris challenged ECAL to create new seats, at once practical and discreet and yet with distinctive character, for the exhibition areas. We rose to the challenge. In order to best respond to the visitors needs, ECAL commissioned a group of nine students and graduates to carry out a study on the seats of fifty museums or so in Europe (Germany, England, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland). Inspired by this survey, 2nd year Bachelor Industrial Design students worked with materials of their choice under the guidance of designer and professor Chris Kabel. Isabelle Baudraz s ‘Tie bench was selected from the projects put forward before being assessed in situ to make sure it blended with the architecture of the museum and the works of the Spanish genius. The benches were finally produced by the outdoor furniture company Tectona. All the project participants worked in a concerted manner and the project was a great success. Picasso and Giacometti can definitely sit easy. Opening hours Monday 16 April – Saturday 21 April, 10 am – 7 pm Tectona Showroom Via della Moscova 47/a 20121 Milano www.tectona.net www.museepicassoparis.fr

En tant que fondateur et directeur artistique du légendaire label indépendant britannique Factory Records, il a touché le grand public grâce aux séries de pochettes de disques qu il a créées pour Joy Division et New Order entre 1979 et 1993. Son style radical a cassé toutes les règles, en omettant sciemment les informations sur les artistes ou les titres, tout en questionnant les modes de consommation et de communication. Ses projets récents mêlent design, art et culture. Ces dernières années, il a ainsi occupé le poste de Creative Director auprès de Manchester, sa ville d origine. Ses réalisations ont également été célébrées entre autres au Design Museum à Londres, au Migros Museum à Zurich et partout dans le monde, où il continue toujours d exposer.

ECAL x QWSTION in Zurich,08.03–07.04.2018,QWSTION Store Zurich A joint project between Swiss bag brand QWSTION and ECAL students of the Master Product Design programme, exploring ways of carrying and using the new sustainable and lightweight material CottonShell®. Ten prototypes have been selected for display at QWSTION Zurich from 8 March to 7 April 2018. Images HD In the project led by Christian Paul Kaegi, Swiss Designer and Creative Director at QWSTION, the sustainably produced CottonShell® was the starting point for an extensive research. CottonShell® has so far been used for clothing only and its unique construction makes it water-resistant without the use of any coating. Questioning the norm, using straightforward materials and integrating functionality in effortless ways are the core brand values of QWSTION which completed the brief. The students engagement with both the QWSTION brand as well as the new material resulted in interesting new ideas and concepts going beyond the ordinary: a scarf with hidden pockets aims to challenge airline staff, a new method of protecting contents inspired by bubblewrap makes for minimal carry and a backpack with integrated rain coat tackles unpleasant weather surprises. From 8 March to 7 April Monday-Friday 11-7pm Saturday 11-5pm QWSTION Store Zurich Badenerstrasse 156 8004 Zürich – Switzerland www.qwstion.com

ECAL – Ten Years in Renens,06.12.2017–16.02.2018,Gallery l elac To celebrate the 10th year anniversary of its arrival in its new building in Renens, ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne presents an exhibition of the best projects created during this period by students from all fields of studies. Under the impulse of Pierre Keller (director from 1995 to 2011), ECAL took up residence in Renens in 2007 in the former premises of the IRIL factory, a building renovated by the Franco-Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi and the Fehlmann office in Morges. Ten years later, ECAL presents an exhibition of the best projects created during this period, emblematic of the various disciplines taught between its walls (Art Direction, Fine Arts, Cinema, Industrial and Product Design, Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship, Graphic Design, Media & Interaction Design, Photography, Type Design). Alexis Georgacopoulos, Director of ECAL, and Heads of all Departments have selected nearly 300 projects from the harvest of a rich decade (1456 diplomas, 310 exhibitions, 655 awards, 100 collaborations), staged in a structure shaped as an X, imagined by Adrien Rovero and Béatrice Durandard, both graduates of the Bachelor Industrial Design. This is the perfect opportunity to see works that have contributed to the reputation of ECAL and perpetuated its international renown (5th Dezeen Hot List published late 2016, ranking the best schools of art and architecture in the world). The exhibition offers the opportunity to (re)discover among others: "Delirious Home", featuring a series of objects in a playful interpretation of the "smart home" concept (Award for the best show at the Milan Furniture Fair 2014). A wide selection of films including, award-winning films of the Locarno Film Festival. Many photos, posters and editions that went around the world as part of the exhibitions "ECAL Photography" and "ECAL Graphic Design". Paintings, videos, installations, drawings, attesting of the broad spectrum embraced by fine arts. Collaborations in design (industrial, product & luxury), which have marked the history of ECAL such as Alessi, Baccarat, Bernardaud, Christofle, Felco, Hermès, Hublot, Nespresso, Punkt., Scott or Vacheron Constantin. Various videos of Media & Interaction Design projects, proof of an expanding field of studies. Not to mention a hundred books and publications published by the school.

Pool CH — ECAL at Arsenic Event
Pool CH — ECAL at Arsenic

Pool CH — ECAL at Arsenic,31.10–02.11.2017,Arsenic , Lausanne Pool CH — ECAL at Arsenic — Centre d art scénique contemporain Tuesday 31 October Wednesday 1 November Thursday 2 November The Pool CH organised by ECAL offers two distinct workshops, one lead by Cecilia Bengolea, the other by Karl Holmqvist. Each attending student registers for one workshop only. Both Cecilia Bengolea and Karl Holmqvist find themselves in shifting positions, moving alongside the art scene, towards the space of the stage, between writing practices, language, poetry, visual forms, film, and sound. The workshops will take place outside of the art school, in a location suited to host both practices, at the Arsenic – Centre d art scénique contemporain, the theatre located in the city centre of Lausanne. --- Cecilia Bengolea Workshop statement I would like to share a practice of dance and writing. The ancestors of Bolivia, the Argentine cumbia street dances and Jamaican dancehall as well as automatic writing. The work on breathing, on hyperventilation as practiced in these dances interest me particularly in order to then write and think about other rhythms and speeds. Biography Born in Buenos Aires, Cecilia Bengolea was trained in urban dances and studied anthropological dance with Eugenio Barba before graduating in philosophy and art history from the University of Buenos Aires. In 2001, she moved to Paris and attended the Ex.e.r.c.e. course in Montpeller, directed by Mathilde Monnier. In 2011, Cecilia Bengolea co-directed two short films which were in dialogue with Levi-Strauss s work : Tristes Tropiques : La Beauté (tôt) vouée à se défaire with Donatien Veisman and Cri de Pilaga with Juliette Bineau. Cecilia Bengolea performs dance like animated sculpture, with the possibility of becoming object and subject in the same instance. She regularly collaborates with artists such as Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Monika Gintersdorfer and Knut Klassen, as well as with dancehall specialists Damion BG Dancerz et Joan Mendy. In collaboration with the British artist Jeremy Deller, Cecilia Bengolea has also co-directed the films RythmAssPoetry and Bombom s Dream. Dates and hours Tuesday 31 October 2pm – 6pm Wednesday 1 November 2pm – 6pm Thursday 2 November 2pm – 6pm Location Arsenic – Centre d art scénique contemporain Rue de Genève 57, 1004 Lausanne --- Karl Holmqvist Workshop statement The term “Deep Listening” was coined by composer Pauline Oliveros in the 1980s and has mostly been used in relation to contemporary experimental music. I wanted to invoke it however with the sense that there s something beneath the surface, behind the noise or what artist James Benning has stated as artists being people “who are able to look at the world around them”, the notion that art making is in fact part of processing this act of looking or “listening”. Part of “deepening” it. Proposing a workshop at ecal about the use of language in art, as spoken word or graphic design. As meaning carrier or a type of flashing picture largely part of today s urban landscape. Also about memory function, “brain washing” techniques and repetition. How things can stay perfectly clear in one s memory and yet also change over time or even right there in the moment. Biography Karl Holmqvist is an artist living and working in Berlin. The main focus of his artistic practice is on language and includes writing in the form of artist s books, in video animations and room size installations as well as in spoken word performances. His writing is mostly made up of quotations from a variety of sources rearranged in the form of a type of written collage that deals with repetition, double meaning and memory function. Recent one-person exhibitions include Centre d Art Contemporain, Geneva, Indipendenza, Rome (with Klara Liden), Kunstverein Braunschweig (with Klara Liden), Power Station, Dallas and Camden Arts Centre, London. He has participated in the Venice Biennial in 2003 and 2011, and Performa, New York in 2005, 2007 and 2013. Dates and hours Tuesday 31 October 10am – 1pm, Wednesday 1 November 10am – 1pm Thursday 2 November 10am – 1pm Location Arsenic – Centre d art scénique contemporain Rue de Genève 57, 1004 Lausanne Registration conditions Students choose one workshop. Each workshop can host up to 20 students. Students cannot attend both workshops. Registration by mentioning the workshop you are interested in at dimitri.depreux@ecal.ch

ECAL x QWSTION at the Vienna Design Week Event
ECAL x QWSTION at the Vienna Design Week

ECAL x QWSTION at the Vienna Design Week,29.09–08.10.2017,QWSTION Store, Vienna A joint project between Swiss bag brand QWSTION and ECAL students of the Master Product Design programme, exploring ways of carrying and using the new sustainable and lightweight material CottonShell®. Ten prototypes have been selected for display at Vienna Design Week from 29 September to 8 October. Cocktail will be held on 4 October, 6-9pm. Images HD In the project led by Christian Paul Kaegi, Swiss Designer and Creative Director at QWSTION, the sustainably produced CottonShell® was the starting point for an extensive research. CottonShell® has so far been used for clothing only and its unique construction makes it water-resistant without the use of any coating. Questioning the norm, using straightforward materials and integrating functionality in effortless ways are the core brand values of QWSTION which completed the brief. The students engagement with both the QWSTION brand as well as the new material resulted in interesting new ideas and concepts going beyond the ordinary: a scarf with hidden pockets aims to challenge airline staff, a new method of protecting contents inspired by bubblewrap makes for minimal carry and a backpack with integrated rain coat tackles unpleasant weather surprises. From 29 September to 8 October Monday-Friday 11-7pm Saturday 11-6pm QWSTION Store Vienna Zieglergasse 38 1070 Vienna +43 1 522 20 64 www.qwstion.com www.viennadesignweek.at

IKEA Democratic Design Day 2017 at ECAL,22.09.2017,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL IKEA is working together with ECAL and the Ikea Foundation Switzerland to organise the Democratic Design Day 2017. IKEA is working together with ECAL and the Ikea Foundation Switzerland to organise the Democratic Design Day 2017 on 22 September 2017 from 9.30am to 5.30pm. Entitled The Future of Living at Home , the event will feature internationally renowned experts in design, architecture and sociology explaining how they are working on the future of private living spaces and the solutions they have developed to tackle the challenges that come with digitalisation and trying to follow a more sustainable way of life. The conference is being held in the IKEA Auditorium at ECAL. You can sign up at www.ikeaddd.ch . There are a limited number of seats available and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. You can find more information about the programme and the keynotespeakers at the previous address. Mario Bellini, Designer and architect, Milan Simonetta Carbonaro, Sociologist, Karlsruhe Kim Colin, Designer – Industrial Facility, London Matali Crasset, Designer, Paris Marcus Engman, Head Designer IKEA of Sweden Oliver Herwig, Journalist and author, Karlsruhe Antonio Scarponi, Architect and designer, Zurich Workshops Two workshops will run simultaneously on Thursday 21 September in the run-up to the Democratic Design Day. In cooperation with Design Prize Switzerland, they will examine and explore the issue of the ageing society – how designers can respond to this development and what concepts and methods they can use to create integrated, accessible products and services that span the generations. The second workshop deals with living off-grid. A team from the design department of IKEA of Sweden (IoS) invites you along to develop ideas for life that goes on outside of the networks. How do people live when they opt out for a while and seek both spatial and technological freedom? Where do these needs come from and what does it mean for their living space? You can sign up here for one of the two workshops. There are a limited number of places available: www.ikeaddd.ch ECAL 5, avenue du Temple CH-1020 Renens www.ecal.ch

GLASSWORKS x ECAL at TRESOR Contemporary Craft Event
GLASSWORKS x ECAL at TRESOR Contemporary Craft

GLASSWORKS x ECAL at TRESOR Contemporary Craft,21–24.09.2017,Messe Basel Matteo Gonet (Glassworks) and ECAL have teamed in order to design and produce a glass chandelier. The project was directed by London-based designer Bethan Laura Wood and involved the students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship of ECAL. At the end of a workshop, "Goethe", the project created by a group of four students (Savvas Laz, Maximilian Maertens, Mauro Martinho, Enrico Pietra), was selected and produced into a working prototype by the Münchenstein-based glassblower. From the colorful universe of sweets, these students focused on the creation of a wide variety of pieces to illustrate the different techniques that only glassblowers can master. The tubular forms interlockwith a metal structure to create a unique installation, such as a contemporary chandelier, resulting in a perfect celebration of student s creativity and craftsmanship.

«ECAL Graphic Design» at swissnex San Francisco Event
«ECAL Graphic Design» at swissnex San Francisco

«ECAL Graphic Design» at swissnex San Francisco,16.06–25.08.2017,swissnex San Francisco In collaboration with swissnex San Francisco, ECAL presents an exhibition of projects created by students of the Bachelor Graphic Design and the Master Art Direction. Images HD ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne has long been recognised as a world reference in terms of – amongst others – graphic design. Be it in designing books, catalogues, magazines or posters, typography or digital projects, ECAL students are able to embrace all fields of this discipline and to masterfully perform a wide variety of assignments. This success is largely based on a policy of workshops allowing them to learn from the best Swiss or international graphic designers directly on the school premises. With this in mind, ECAL has had the good fortune of welcoming in recent years leading figures such as Ludovic Balland, Bibliothèque, Mirko Borsche, Thomas Buxo, Veronica Ditting, Europa, Johann Kauth, Jürg Lehni, Ari Marcopoulos, Maximage, Young Na Kim, NORM, OK-RM, Brian Roettinger, Hansje van Halem, Cornel Windlin and Job Wouters aka Letman. The exhibition and book “ECAL Graphic Design” largely retraces projects conducted in the Bachelor Graphic Design and Master Art Direction courses over the past five years in the framework of these visits, but also of other courses which have contributed to the School s reputation. Edited by the Gavillet & Rust studio, the book revolves around a long succession of tracking shots in which projects are not classified in categories, but organised by colour. The exhibition design orchestrated by Adrien Rovero is based on the same concept, allowing a total flexibility of the exhibition. «ECAL Graphic Design» exhibition Exhibition from 16 June 2017 to 25 August 2017. swissnex San Francisco Pier 17, Suite 800, San Francisco California 94111 www.swissnexsanfrancisco.org Book "ECAL Graphic Design" Distributed by JRP|Ringier Collection Anthologies & Art Theory www.jrp-ringier.com Edited by: Angelo Benedetto, Lionel, Bovier, Vincent Devaud (Graphic design), Gilles Gavillet (Graphic design), Alexis Georgacopoulos Authors: Angelo Benedetto, Alexis Georgacopoulos, François Rappo Photography: Philippe Fragnière Technical specifications: Hardcover, 225 x 295 mm, 160 pages, 64 color images, English/French, March 2016 ISBN: 978-3-03764-455-3 Price: CHF 48 / EUR 40 / £ 30 / US 49.95
