Giving shape to designed objects

Welcome to the ENSCI-Les Ateliers 2009-2010 graduate book of both industrial and textile designers.

Their multifarious projects — developed during coursework and created for their degree — are personal expressions of a common vision of design that reflects the strategy of Les Ateliers.

The objects they have designed are both material and/or immaterial, products or services, household or professional, individual, collective, private or public, and employ traditional technologies as much as new, “humanised” ones. In this profusion of often original concepts and forms that present a fine balance balance of aesthetic and functional qualities, the full breadth of Les Ateliers’s scope is revealed.

This wealth of creation is in tune with the diverse situations in life in which design now prevails. Reasserting its goal to contribute to a better quality of life, for all, while protecting the environment and helping the competitive innovation of businesses, the design championed at Les Ateliers features both an ethical and political dimension.

In a society where prolonged life expectancy, human mobility, new web practices and an increasing lack of job security all leave a profound imprint on our lives, design discovers new areas of exploration and creation and finds itself invested with new responsibilities.In a global economy marked by greater competition between businesses, countries too are under pressure to attract capital and brainpower, and creation and design have become determining factors not just in industrial innovation and competitiveness, but also in terms of attractiveness and quality of life for regions.

In this context, the mission of ENSCI is to educate designers who will be players for change in social, economic and societal fields and who share the ambition to make the real world more viable.

In keeping with the tradition and spirit of ENSCI, we have accompanied these students throughout their studies. These graduates are now ready to shoulder their responsibilities as designers: to give form to objects which, beyond their pure utility, offer true ethical and aesthetic “added value.”

This ENSCI-Les Ateliers 2009-2010 graduate book gives you a chance to discover them.

Founded in 1982, ENSCI-Les Ateliers is the only French national advanced institute exclusively devoted to design studies. It is a public commercial and industrial establishment supervised by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Industry.

Applying a humanist philosophy and a commitment to sustainable development, ENSCI aims to actively contribute to quality of life for individuals and increased competitiveness for French and European industry.

ENSCI’s mission is to educate designers capable of conveying and promoting all aspects of industrial design, i.e., to tackle the material and immaterial industries of the 21st century, to design aesthetic and functional objects and their associated uses, and to create economic and social values. Sustainable design holds a central place in today’s industry. The design profession is undergoing profound transformation and the dominant technologies are those that implement new materials (sometimes traditional materials revisited), composites, functional textiles, etc., as well as micro and nanotechnologies, digital simulation or representation technologies associated to ICT, technologies related to the living world, and so on.

The prospective design that is taught and practised at ENSCI integrates these technological advances with a constant concern for their “innovative humanisation” (to quote ICSID).

ENSCI is at the heart of a teaching and research cluster of education institutes and universities in the Île de France region that cover the arts, literature, engineering, architecture, economics, management, and social and human sciences. “Double degree” programmes are being put in place, for example: engineer + designer, and designer + Masters (in engineering or management).

ENSCI has forged numerous partnerships with industry and research laboratories where students learn to respond to specific project challenges defined with each partner. The Grenoble residence at MINATEC is a reflexion of this approach. A similar residence will be soon opened at Saclay in 2011.

ENSCI awards two master degrees: “Industrial designer” and “Textile designer” (formerly the ANAT), both to Masters level. It also proposes two post-graduate courses leading to a specialist Masters: “Creation and contemporary technology” and “Innovation by design” (starting in 2010).

The Paris Design Lab®, ENSCI’s research laboratory, offers post-graduate courses to young graduate designers in its D-Labs – multi-disciplinary industrial partner research teams – for a limited time span (maximum 36 months). Thesis work can also be developed in this context.

ENSCI educates designers of all profiles who go on to work in design firms, industry or become self-employed; many have contributed to the reputation of French design around the world. Every year, ENSCI trains approximately 260 students of all nationalities. To date, it has graduated close to 600 industrial designers, trained over 200 textile designers, and awarded approximately 150 specialist Masters degrees.

Located in the heart of Paris near the Place de la Bastille, ENSCI-Les Ateliers occupies a building with a rich historic past that once housed the former workshops of the decorator Jansen, who from 1922 to 1979 employed up to 500 arts and craftspeople. The Ministry of Culture acquired the building to set up ENSCI and carried out the necessary rehabilitation. The school has maintained the spirit of these former workshops while opening up to contemporary technologies. Under certains conditions school is, the workshops are open seven days a week and twenty-four hours a day so that students can benefit from optimal working conditions for developing and realising their projects.

Moino (2006)

Zero gravity, a project revolving around lightness and the forms it can take. These intriguing, lightweight, floating nesting boxes made out of steel and polyethylene are intended to be planted in the garden, for use by small birds such as sparrows.

Bowls on a tray (2006)Project developed during an academic exchange at the California College of Arts in San Francisco. It was entered for the ‘Ceramic for Breakfast’ competition organised by Designboom. It is a meal tray that can be assembled on the spot, designed to be seen and touched. The bottom of the bowls is curved. So they fit delicately into the palm of the hand. The small hollows in the tray make it possible to arrange the bowls and to create a meal by experimenting with colours and types of food and drinks. Breakfast acquires an extra dimension that is both visual and sensual. The materials used are ceramic, glass and walnut. This project was selected and then exhibited at the Macef Ceramic Fair in Milan in 2007.

Made out of new york (2008)Project developed during a work placement with Ron Gilad and Amy Lau in New York.

This research project grew out of a reflection on what happens to objects and materials when they reach the end of their lives. In New York, when large objects or pieces of material no longer serve a purpose and have to be thrown away, it is customary to cut them into small pieces, tie them up into bundles and put them out on the pavement so they can be picked up by refuse collectors. The project draws on this practice, which here becomes a source of raw

materials. The assembling of these fragments of objects gives birth to new ones, built with the same economy as that of the original objects. It requires the use of nothing but a screwdriver and involves modifying the materials as little as possible. These “new” old pieces of furniture have their own identity, which is based on the combination of the diverse origins of the constituent fragments. For example, the table is made up of 60% Crown Heights and 40% Williamsburg, the chair 60% SoHo and 40% Prospect Heights, the shelves 80% Prospect Heights and 20% Chelsea.

[stac]Project director: Romain Cuvellier*

Inspired by early-learning shapes designed for small children, [stac] is a self-build piece of furniture made up of geometric elements that the user can stack according to his/her desires, mood or needs. The principle is simple: you just stack the different elements on top of each other to create a personal configuration, adapted to the space and the desired functions. No screws or bolts are required: the structure is held firmly in place by the weight of the elements and rubber bands.

Project

Page 13: ENSCI Graduates Catalog 2009-2010

Finally, like a toy that can be put away in its box, the components of [stac] fit together to take up the least space possible, enabling them to be transported. In this configuration, the elastic bands become straps holding it shut.

Thesis

*slow*Thesis director: Cloé Fontaine *

Interviews, literary extracts, essays, magazine and newspaper articles, photographs, excerpts from catalogues, sketches – *slow* takes the reader on an exploration of slow design. Rather than an established definition, it offers a range of avenues that enable readers to understand it and interpret it freely. What is the pace of life for us today? How can we strike a balance? How can we achieve personal fulfilment by making the most suitable choices? Do the consumer objects all around us have a role to play? What “flavour” do they have and how do we experience them? Where do they come from and why? By investigating the production and consumption of objects, slow design ends up permeating our everyday lives. It guides our choices, attitudes and habits towards the same end: namely that of our wellbeing. Contact me at gregoire-abrial.net to order your copy of *slow*.

Frédéric Alzéari

ChiCane (2006)Teamwork with Vincent Blouin and Alexandre Willaume.

This 50cc moped is aimed at teenagers. It offers an affordable and reliable means of transport, while its form is designed to help overcome the apprehension and fear associated with this type of vehicle. Its exoskeleton structure frees up a maximum of storage space, making it possible to transport a helmet for a friend or their personal effects. It is designed with the aim of eliminating all signs of speed and performance, highlighting instead the object’s utilitarian dimension.

Page 19: ENSCI Graduates Catalog 2009-2010

19Miro (2008)

Outdoor light running off solar power. This object is intended to illuminate a swimming pool and its surroundings after nightfall. It can be placed on the ground or can float on the water. The visually lightweight of the structure gives the impression of a sphere that is levitating. A primitive, enigmatic volume during the day, this luminous ball becomes a reassuring presence in the dark.

w (2007)Teamwork with Giulia Stoll and Célia Rossi.

This dresser reassesses the existing relationship between crockery, storage spaces and electrical appliances. It is a piece of furniture that forms a juxtaposition between a dresser and a fitted dishwasher, containing movable baskets that can be used during the wash and also for storing once the cycle is finished. Clean crockery is arranged directly on the adjacent shelves.

Project

aquatic excursion Project director: Laurent Massaloux*

Exploring the aquatic environment brings the experience of new sensations. Release from gravity, the modification of colours and sounds, and the possibility of observing life forms that are alien to us are all part of the attraction of exploring the sea. This project is based on the development of a simple and inexpensive approach to the aquatic environment: swimming with flippers. It  proposes a series of products connected with this activity,

Page 21: ENSCI Graduates Catalog 2009-2010

21

revolving around concepts such as safety, observation and the pleasures of swimming. The webbing of the flippers can be detached from the shoe to make getting in and out of the water easier. The surface marker buoy becomes a piece of equipment that helps the sea explorer to be more mobile. Finally, the mask and the camera are combined to capture three-dimensional images of the seabed explored.

Thesis

design under the influenceThesis director: Cloé Fontanie*

What defining formal considerations are present at the birth of a project? By observing the different phases that mark the creation of a product, this thesis attempts to identify the involvement of all the protagonists in object design. Accounts and concrete examples serve as a basis for reflection on how the forms around us came into being and how they are evolving. Underlying these questions is the issue of the renewal and circulation of forms in present-day production. Is the appearance of objects simply the fruit of economic, functional or industrial influences, or is it also to some extent autonomous and inexplicable?

ourson (2005)Partnership with the Association Valentin Hauÿs.

This toy for stimulating hearing, touch, sight and learning is designed for children who are blind or who have impaired sight. It is made up of five pieces in different materials and colours which, separately, define the play space. They communicate with each other through sounds, in the manner of a treasure hunt, inviting the child to explore his world.

knide (2006)

This is the result of an experiment with matter and volume linked to a study of time and movement. The silicon runs through a cavity before hardening slowly, generating momentary views of materials in motion. The final object is a lamp in which the light reinforces the effect of substance.

léon (2007)Partnership with the IRFA

This project grew out of the problematic context of home help. It is a system of objects consisting of an armchair that helps the sitter when they get up, a tray and a temporary seat hidden underneath. It is designed to be user-friendly and to fit into the home better.

Project

PhotosensibleProject director: Christophe Gaubert*

This project is centered on the act of taking photographs. It is based on research into a system of modules that are independent of the computer. The objects are used in the construction of a personal or family memory. They give material form to our memories by capturing them, archiving them and sharing them. Sténopé is a camera with a touch screen. It uses the standard format (10 x 15), so what you see is the final photo.

*Designer, project director, ENSCI

Page 29: ENSCI Graduates Catalog 2009-2010

The control functions are expressed in words (movement, light, depth), making it possible to concentrate on the result in the picture. Sténopé then disappears, serving as a control screen for all the other modules: viewer, contact sheet and memory. This system takes different forms according to use – and thus according to user.

Thesis

Blurred visionThesis director: Marie-Haude Caraës *

Blur transforms perception. It prevents recognition and is the vector for body motion and thought triggers. It hints that there is more there than what we can actually see, thus pushing us to discover what we do not know. Blur has been present throughout the history of photography. It moved slowly from the status of surprise to that of error. Photographic blur thus marks the photographer’s attention and displaces that of the viewer. This feature of photography gradually found a place for itself in a deliberate process of expression, becoming an artistic choice. It gives real depth to the image by creating a new time: that of the exchange, the endless to-and-fro between the gaze and the photograph.

ugo2 (2004)Outer breakwater, (Marseille) Partnership with EuroMéditerranée

Development of the outer breakwater (Marseilles). The aim is to create three trails that provide a different view of the breakwater (a sports trail, a games trail and a hiking trail). Each trail has markers on the ground indicating what type it is and leads to different structures, which are incorporated into the breakwater’s central wall..

home equipmentProject director: Romain Cuvellier *

The aim of this project is to transform the home into a place for play and physical activity. It is a range of equipment for the home consisting of a sliding apparatus, a balancing apparatus, and a juggling apparatus. These machines integrate and occupy the home in different ways. Some are grafted onto the house, being fixed to the building, while others are totally separate and freestanding.

Page 37: ENSCI Graduates Catalog 2009-2010

These three pieces of equipment are prototypes of a range catering for a new form of physical activity. They are integrated into the home with the aim of tempting the body, appealing to our spontaneity and our childish side.

Thesis

thin on the ground ! different forms of physical activityThesis director: Marie Haude Caraës *

New technology has changed the pace of life, necessitating a reassessment of the place of the body. The body no longer moves and has almost become superfluous. Man is seeking a new balance when it comes to reconciling physical activity with his lifestyle, and these changes have inspired a new form of physical activity. This practice follows numerous messages put out by state institutions and medical bodies. It has given rise to object-machines in which the body is rationalised, forced to perform a repetitive gesture with the aim of creating a beautiful healthy body. This moral injunction to move has transformed the individual into a reponsible owner of his body. Would another type of practice be possible for a use of the body that would be better suited to everyday life?

oBjeCts in BaMBoo (2007)

This project explores the use of bamboo in the home. The aim is to give the material and its connotations a more modern image, notably with regard to its associations with colonial and outdoor furniture. These objects explore some of the formal, technical and functional possibilities of this material, which is good for sustainable development.

MaMBa Bags (2006) Partnership with Hermès, L’objet voyageur

Each trip tells a unique story that is shaped by people met on the way, unexpected incidents and the route chosen. Similarly, the Mamba bags, which have a flexible structure that can change shape on occasion, assume a specific form according to their contents and the type of voyage.

flower Pots with Plant suPPort (2007)Made at the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres

Inspired by the vagaries of nature, these pots with a plant support offer the plant another possibility of growing and climbing. They are simple in form, but the complex design of the mould and the manufacture of the parts require technical expertise. The provision of a deep double wall creates a damp environment that is good for the plant.

the line, the wire. the drawing, the objectProject director: Laurent Massaloux *

This project investigates the links between the drawn line as a projection of the imagination and the industrial production of wire. To what extent can the spontaneity and fragility of drawing influence the styling of industrial objects? And inversely, how can drawing be adapted to the constraints linked to machines for mass production? Research work centering on a shelf and a stool made from soldered wire led to the development of a storage trolley.

Thesis

forms of utopiaThesis director: Pierre Leguillon*

“Should we not after all envisage all the possibilities? I go backwards and perhaps I am going forwards. ” Robert Walser, FelixThis thesis envisages utopia as a subject for exploration, a place of infinite possibilities – but above all as a field for numerous developments. From reality to utopia, and inversely, we will attempt to understand the processes for constructing a utopian representation, the potential forms that embody it in reality.

Quartier liBre (2008)

This service has been devised for urban areas. Information about events is provided in both French and English at the bottom of the cash receipt given in shops. By proposing a choice of three free events during the day in the neighbourhood where the receipt was issued, Quartier libre aims to attract visitors, to encourage exploration of the diversity of neighbourhoods that lie off the beaten tourist track, and to improve the dissemination of local news about cultural events and the activities of associations.

exhiBition stands for the new reCePtion area at les ateliers (2006)

This exhibition stand is based on standard scaffolding components and was designed to be easily erected by anyone, without the need for tools. It offers several possible permutations according to needs. The different elements are arranged around a brace made in an aluminium foundry.

deCi-delà (2008)Competition for the Cité du Design de Saint-Etienne and the Association France Alzheimer

Deci-delà is a watch that supplies information enabling people in the early or middle phases of Alzheimer’s to position themselves in space and time. Two interfaces are combined on the dial: a representation of the times of the day marked by meals for when the person is at home, and a simplified GPS for when they go out. This device is intended to help Alzheimer sufferers remain autonomous for as long as possible and to encourage them to use their initiative.

written correspondenceProject director: Bruno Moretti *

Correspondence by letter enables communication at a distance, both in time and space. In the age of email and the instant message, it is becoming increasingly rare and precious, and is a paean to a certain kind of slowness. This project proposes two new forms of correspondence to stimulate the imagination and revive postal exchanges between private individuals. To encourage regular correspondence, the return envelope service will serve

*Designer

as the physical interface between two correspondents. A durable envelope made out of sail canvas, like a travel card, goes back and forth between two people as they continue to correspond for as long as possible. “Sensitive postcards” explore different ways of recounting the journey a surface takes through time and space. Here, the object of the correspondence is not the exchange of words, but the random representation

that emerges from the journey between the two correspondents’ places of residence. These proposals include postal lichen – a surface on which lichen takes hold, making it possible to see how long a journey took.

Thesis

the industrial designer and the person his work is aimed at – an analysis of the interaction of interestsThesis director: Anne-Sophie Trébuchet Breitwiller *

This thesis explores the possible relationship between the designer and the person he/she is working for. It observes several ways of designing that are based on user practices, concentrating each time on the contribution this approach brings when integrated into the creative process. How can we assess the needs of others without going to meet them? How can we understand a complex context without the aid of the people who have with first-hand experience of it?

This thesis attempts to answer these questions by studying the development of design for all and observing the use of human sciences techniques in businesses and practices that incorporate the client into the design phases. As a way of approaching this final part, a logbook records the work carried out at a residential workshop run by the 27e Region in the Auvergne, which shows what is involved in a desire to work closely with inhabitants in daily design practice.

Isabelle DaeronsisalCity (2007)

SisalCity is an imaginary city whose main activity is to grow and trade a vegetable fibre: sisal. Ideally located in Brazil (the leading exporter of sisal in the world), SisalCity has buildings and housing constructions designed to make use of the vegetable fibre that is grown there. The resulting architectural forms demonstrate how resistant this material can be.

A mound represents an equilibrium between gravity and a human action—each spadeful of earth is organised into a specific form by gravity.

Taking the mound as an example, how to use terrestrial forces for better habitation?

A “topique” is an autonomous object disconnected from the network and connected to the environment.

A topique expresses a fair balance between a fluid (rain, wind, etc.) and a human action to use, capture, stock, filter and then redistribute it.

Topique-eau is a fountain disconnected from the hydraulic network and connected to the environment, which uses the site’s natural qualities (rainfall, existing physical elements) to propose drinking water to city-dwellers.

Thesis

haBitaBilityThesis director: Marie-Haude Caraës *

A tool to create a utopia exists that strives to bridge the gap between here and elsewhere, to shape the inhabitable space. First and foremost, making a place inhabitable is about ensuring humane living conditions that correspond to biological criteria, but it’s also about modelling it to an ideal. Habitability is that technical arsenal that reduces the distance between utopia and the space to be inhabited. It is a notion that developed from the 19th century onwards by borrowing the meanings of successive words that take its root: inhabit, inhabitant, habitat, habitation, habitable. It became used in fields as varied as astronomy, urban planning, architecture, aeronautics, automobiles and even ecology. The study of habitability describes a constant journey between a near land and a far land, the prerequisite for which is technical mediation.

Charlotte DepinBout’son (2005-2006)In partnership with Kenwood Japan

The development of digital formats in music has led to a rapid change in listening habits. Bout’son is the fruit of a reflection on the materialisation of music files: volume buttons are unplugged from this music player to communicate playlists for each corner of the house, because you do not listen to the same pieces in the evening to go to sleep as you do when taking a shower or working at the office. These buttons give material form to uses and listening places in the home.

This is an adaptation, in the form of a game, of the mechanics of the Constitution. The project can be seen as a teaching tool, making it possible to experiment in a concrete fashion with the way in which the roles and functions of the state are structured. Designed during the strikes that paralysed France when the Contrat

Première Embauche [First Employment Contract] was created, it is above all a tool for debate about the political commitment of designers and their capacity for translating complex mechanisms.

The Cyclope is a GPS navigational device specially designed for bicycles and Vélibs [Paris’ self-service bicycle hire]. To meet the requirements of the Vélib scheme in Paris, this device, which can be fixed to the handlebars, uses only “low-tech” components, making it possible to reduce costs. Information about the journey takes the form of luminous signs projected directly onto the road surface, which thus becomes a support for digital data.

MaP- Mon administration Personnelle [My Personal Civil service]

Project director: Jean Louis Fréchin*

With the development of digital media, the state is attempting to give itself a makeover, showing a new face to citizens through numerous websites and portals. However, because no one has developed a vision that is based on the way in which administrative practices are actually experienced on a day-to-day basis, the present trend is for the defects of excessive paper bureaucracy to be reproduced on the Internet.

Parler d'administration, c'est aborder un sujet complexe - c'est aborder des questions qui touchent à l'affectif, au personnel (mariage, décès, naissance, déménagements, identité, emploi, santé) sous un angle normatif et impersonnel- c'est envisager des acteurs multiples, aussi bien du domaine de l'action publique, que dans le secteur privé et marchand ou encore associatif- c'est s'adresser tantôt à une seule personne, tantôt à un groupe au travers de la colocation, du mariage, de la famille, c'est gérer des séparations, des apprentissages...- c'est combiner différentes temporalités: du document qui sera stocké, au document qui ne fait que transiter dans l'habitat, du contratqu'on ne va signer qu'une fois, au relevé qui constitue un point de contact régulier- c'est, enfin, souvent combiner différents supports: avec le développement d'internet les comptes en ligne se multiplient, les relations passent moins par l'échange de courriers, et pourtant, nombreux sont les utilisateurs qui selon leur interlocuteur ne sont pas prêts fonctionner différemment,

question de confiance, d'apprentissage, de réflexes.... Les comptes en ligne sont amenés à coexister avec des comptes sur papiers, et cela risque de durer.

Thesis

inventory – on the meeting between design and the general interestThesis director: Sophie Coiffier *

The notion of general interest intrigues, lying as it does at the crossroads of philosophy, politics and law. Inevitably problematic and full of contradictions, it is nonetheless at the heart of all our political structures and shapes how we see our relationship to the community. How does it relate to industrial design? In what way can designers influence the way in which society sees itself, and what responsibilities does this involve?The thesis can be read as an exploration of the fields of design as they extend to political militancy, via institutional construction. It is an investigation that looks for links between daily practices in the design profession and personal concern for the community. A journey in search of a non- reductive definition of committed practice.

How to get back to the essence of the Internet, i.e., sharing? Ubiquitous permanent access to the web and the multiplication of the services it offers means our private information is observed and traded by big firms (Google, Amazon, Facebook). A new, strong tension is growing in this post-PC era where people want to heavily communicate while keeping control of their private life and personal data.

Thesis

imagination, design and new technologiesThesis director: Nicolas Nova *

New technologies, especially information and communication technologies, are taking up more and more room in our daily lives. They now appear so fast and in such numbers there is often no time to fully understand them, provoking contradictory reactions, attraction or repulsion. It is therefore crucial we take the time to define the way in which they integrate everyday life. To do so, we must study an essential element in any process of creation, which is the key to users adopting new technologies: imagination. How can imagination help users to better adopt objects born from new technologies? And how can designers take this into account in their work?

Variations on an electric kettleProject director: Laurent Massaloux *

Although objects benefit from the efficiency of mass-production, they are often disembodied due to their standardisation. The industrial ideal of an object for everyone contrasts with the more human and sustainable production of an object for each individual. By taking the electric kettle as its field of experimentation, this project attempts to introduce variation into a purely industrial product.

Project

Page 85: ENSCI Graduates Catalog 2009-2010

85

To achieve this, it has mass-production and one-off production coexist within a single product. Standard industrial parts provide a technological base that is the same from one kettle to the next. These elements are assembled around components that are made by various independent makers. Whether they use traditional know-how, like the glass-blower and the potter with his wheel, or new technology, such as

rapid prototyping, these protagonists all have the distinction of being able to make containers that are different each time. These “variations on an electric kettle” give rise to hybrid objects somewhere between the one-off and the mass-produced, industry and crafts.

Thesis

riPolin magazine / design / simplificationThesis director: Cloé Fontaine *

To offload its overproduction, industry has instigated a cult of innovation. Gimmicky functions and “designer” forms are the selling points for products competing with each other in the shops. Many designers, users and even marketing people are today advocating a “return to simplicity”. Simple forms, simple functions, simple materials – today this sacrosanct “simplicity” seems to be the miracle cure for the global crisis. Does  the salvation of industry really lie in this idea of simplification? By appearing in the guise of a magazine, this thesis gives visual form not only to the problem but also the answers it attempts to provide.

woMBa-woMBa (2008)Sound design studio, team project, supervised by Roland Cahen

This is a sound installation for the breast-feeding room of the maternity ward at the Hôpital Les Bleuets. The wooden band, which plays different tracks and runs right around the room in order to envelop the occupants.

gender Questions (2008)This is an exploration of the female cycle and the taboos surrounding it. Two objects epitomise this phenomenon: the tampon and the contraceptive pill.

fil rouge The tampon’s protective sleeve becomes the applicator. It is reversible and is placed around the finger during use. The design makes it possible to reduce the amount of complicated packaging and the complex systems required to insert it, while ensuring the necessary hygiene for its use.

Mme Peel Taking the pill is an act that is charged with meaning, a choice, and in this respect it differs from other treatments. This project attempts to avoid the medical associations by taking a fresh look at the packaging and the shape of the pill itself. The container is visible and durable, taking the form of a case that is worn or can be attached to one’s mobile phone or keys. The pill has been redesigned, going from a tablet to a thin pastille. The act evolves, with the surface of the object being peeled away.

Umbrellas are widely used in Singapore to provide protection from the rain and the sun. The flexible blades are attached to the ribs inside. The rainwater soaks into the goretex surface and the evaporation creates a cooling heat transfer. The handle makes it possible to turn the object in order to increase ventilation.

Thesis

the gender of objects, from tool to accessoryThesis director: Marie-Haude Caraes*

The object, which is supposedly neutral because it is inanimate, interacts with the identity of its designer and that of the user. These interactions can be seen as a kind of impregnation, giving the object a gender and making it an emblem of male/female relations throughout history. My study of the origins of gender behaviour led me to examine the tool, the object which, more than any other, has been a product of the division of tasks. I looked at the role of the designer in the creation of forms and uses. Being part of the industrial process, he/she contributes to the perpetuation or conclusion of old patterns through the objects designed As a mediator, as it were, who deals with stereotypes, accentuating them, reversing them or obliterating them, he can undermining preconceptions.

This range of seats is a reinterpretation of the expertise of the saddle makers at Hermès, centering on a new product for the company. Consisting of a modular structure made out of cast aluminium, the base highlights the noble materials used and the technical expertise required.

eCoulo (2007)

The management of household water today remains simplistic and is based on an abundance that only allows for limited exploitation of this resource’s potential use. This device is thus intended to distinguish between different levels of water quality, so they can be stored and made available for appropriate use. It takes the form of an acacia wood structure supporting a series of basins and sinks.

Must the lifecycle of a material be centred on a single user? Inversely, in the case of a pooling of social or economic entities, can the efficiency of material be maximised? Would it thus be possible to generate more wealth around a fixed material flow, thereby favouring sustainable consumption? How can notions of use and cleanness be separated in the current economic model? To provide a concrete answer to these theoretical questions, a project focusing

Following a study of its lifecycle to reveal the various states of the materials that would be suitable for occasional use without altering the existing process, it seemed best to choose to highlight the drying period in the saw mill. Analysis of the economic structure of this market led to a rural tourist service that fit the specifications of the manufacturer as well as the local authority welcoming this tourist structure.

good for the bin, the art of orchestrating obsolescenceThesis director: Odile Coppey *

In contemporary society, the programmed obsolescence of a product is a parameter that each protagonist in the chain of consumerism must take into account in his actions. Yet these forms, causes and consequences are misunderstood and above all misinterpreted. This study attempts to clarify them in order to help the reader develop a more rational relationship with this concept. Observing various consumer products allows for a better understanding of the contemporary issues linked to the anticipation of an object’s lifecycle. The role of the designer is also called into question here. If this phenomenon were taken into account with more conscious reasoning and incorporated right from the product’s inception, the designer’s work could acquire a new legitimacy and a new sense of innovation.

the laundroMat (2009) Workshop Modules Energétiques Urbains pour la ville de Saint Étienne Partnership with EDF/Cité du Design/Philippe Comte This is a laundromat incorporating renewable energy into its water and energy consumption. It has a glass roof beneath which the damp laundry is hung so that it is exposed to the sun for drying. This system replaces the use of a tumble dryer. Its modular construction facilitates its integration into the existing urban space. A website makes it possible to book or check the availability of machines in real time and provides a forum for people living in the neighbourhood to swap services. The washing day can be chosen according to the weather forecast. The laundromat thus creates an energy service and a social context linked to an energy source, namely sunny weather. It offers a shift from individual consumption to semi-collective consumption that is more economic and also makes use of a local facility.

hyPerBol (2006)Partnership with Pyrex

Pyrex glass has the property of being resistant to changes in temperature. Certain steps in a recipe advise that, to be successful, a mixture must be left to cool down in a refrigerator or that butter must be melted in a microwave or egg whites be beaten in a chilled bowl. Hyperbol is a range of two bowls with different capacities for preparing ingredients. Their asymmetric rim intuitively suggest a certain way of handling and using them. The weight of the glass makes certain actions easier, while the transparency makes it possible to check whether something has been well mixed.

the dark train (2007)Partnership with the SNCF

Today, 1.5 million people in France have defective sight. The SNCF has taken steps in stations and on platforms to guide and warn the visually impaired, but the autonomy of these people is still restricted. The interiors of mainline trains have adequate spaces for the blind: the first seats, at the ends of carriages, are the most accessible and provide luggage racks and toilets nearby. These trains require booking: how can a blind passenger make a reservation that automatically provides access to this space? From booking to the actual journey, a service that provides personalised accessibility.

Current climate change questions the state of our relationship with the environment and is forcing us to adapt. This object is a climate-radio, a specialised radio whose broadcasts make it possible to develop a “culture of climate risk”. Its aim is to encourage its listeners to refer to the climate of their region so they can link their actions to it (what they wear, cook, grow, how they get information) by broadcasting podcasts. The programme is made up of

a selection of daily chronicles chosen by Météo France [France Weather Centre] according to the weather forecast for that day and the following one. Content is updated via an RDS aerial. It is powered by four rechargeable water batteries. This radio broadcasts the frequencies of other radio stations, which will be interrupted by weather warning messages if necessary. The form of information proposed by this service is a response to climate-related

hazards with the aim of preparing and guiding the population. The device has been designed to be easily used by the elderly – the section of society most at risk from variations in the climate, and soon to become the biggest population group in Europe – and more widely by people living in cities.

The conservatory was not open to visits in the evening. The Musée du Soleil was situated 20 feet underground. On the surface, there was a lush garden, a symbol of life by photosynthesis, in which wild sunflowers grew freely. On the ground, transparent glass eyelets allowed natural light to illuminate the underground gallery. These conduits projected the sun’s rays onto the objects on display, surrounding each one in a halo. The dust in the light stirred at the slightest movement, glinting. All sorts of cult objects were exhibited, recounting the myths and legends associated with the sun in different periods. [...]

Théjine has the form of a chimney and works like one too: the boiling water that you pour into a cup gives off steam. The more water there is, the more steam there will be, and vice versa. By covering the cup with a théjine biscuit, the steam escapes through the chimney. The concentrated steam melts the inner walls of the chimney, which is made up of compacted tea. The melted tea drops into the water with the exact amount that corresponds to the volume of water in the cup. The rest of the biscuit can be eaten and has a flavour that goes with the tea.

Let’s continue the journey started by the thesis by trying to give life to forms that are not found in the current industrial landscape, by borrowing the characters of a freer industrial design practice from the processes that govern forms in nature – the aim being to combine these natural processes with industrial ones in order to create objects whose forms break free from the fetters of reason and obtain more of that ultimately subjective quality: Beauty.

MonstrumFrom “monere,” “to draw attention to”Thesis director: Stéphane Audeguy*

A reflection on the forms that surround us. The ones made by man are inevitably constrained by cultural and technical paraphernalia. Natural forms seem to develop more freely.Yet there are rules. Which is why we chiefly turned our thoughts to the supposed existence of a third realm where forms remain free and unfettered because reason lies dormant. The realm of imagination, for which monsters are no doubt the best ambassadors…The thesis theorises the possibility of producing objects by combining known industrial processes with natural processes. The latter will give rise to a visual wealth and scope that today’s industry cannot master.

siP, tea-drinking instruMent (2006)

The project is rooted in the mythological origin of tea, transmitted by Lipton. Brewing comes from movement. Whether the wait be patiently controlled or purely mysterious, Sip ritualises the moment by a movement to elect the taste. When Sip is immobile, the tea and the water are isolated. The brewing occurs when you tilt it; from this unsteady balance, each person gets a handle on the improvisation tool through the movement they choose. Prototypes made at the European Keramic Work Center, Hertogenbosch, NL.

The body is constantly transforming. It adapts to and is shaped by cultures, experiences, emotions, and relations to others. Body/Societies/Time; inheriting a relation to the body. Body/Desires/Otherness; being driven by transient symbioses. Body/Strategies/Experimentations; venturing into bodily practices. How are these metamorphoses sustained, twisted or provoked?

Thesis

repairingThesis director: Marie Haude Caraës *

When material damage, wear and tear of parts and general misuse are taken into account, numerous deterioration phenomena lead to questioning the possibility and profitability of repairing. What does it mean, how to define it, why do it? etc. It is all part of a system prompted by economic need but which has also invented its own limits: the impossibility of dismantling, the unavailability of technical documents, the miniaturisation of increasingly specialised technology, the competitive advantage of new items… Repairing implies a potentially ecological act. To make this happen, simple actions must be undertaken to enhance it. Designers must therefore think about the sustainable aspects of their designs from the start. They have to ensure they can be dismantled to allow maintenance and repair. When the object is broken/out of order, the designer must try to envisage its destruction or reconversion so as to avoid multifarious pollutions.

televisual experiment/experienceProject director: Rodolphe Dogniaux*

Television is constantly evolving, with one technical innovation after another. But over and above being a technical mechanism, we forget that television is a connection between people. It links them via shared referents, a collective imagination and its very technicity. Through the sense of communion it induces, television is the equivalent of an uninstituted religion. How to make this religious link visible?

Four proposals for intervention:- The pilot light: it is superimposed on all the programmes. It embodies the permanent flow.- The pilgrim: what kind of viewer are we? How to make our choice and position more conscious? The presence of a viewer is affiliated to a symbolic pixel that materialises him.- The missal: the TV schedule creates rhythm in our daily lives, it allows us to

plan our TV dates. Why not take a look at the place that television has in our own daily schedules and the extent to which it influences us?- The chapel: how to make the viewer network visible? A sign is created based on our TV activity. This interface is a tool for social analysis.

Thesis

[pardela] Experiences, interpretations and meditations on the body and the mind.Thesis director: Cédric de Veigy *

A Rothko painting, a walk in the desert, a slap…What makes these experiences intense? What do they call to mind and what do they make possible in us? Something happens between the body and the mind, a kind of hiatus, a hazy middle ground that nonetheless makes us aware of what we are made of. We therefore need to use our perception and conception to accurately describe what is happening. Intensity and attention both draw upon things that are not yet delimited, not fully understood and defined. It is in this gap between what we perceive with our senses and what we conceive with our understanding, in this shift between the information of the body and that the mind that a question arises. A fascinating question that drives us to redefine what we know about ourselves, that keeps us constantly renewed.

Following the treatment properly is the principal factor for therapeutic success or failure.This project attempts to humanise the means of communication to encourage cooperation and comprehension. Design is almost invisible in the healthcare chain. The goal is to ease and improve interactions between patients, doctors and the healthcare system.

InfectiousThis is an application that materialises the spread of an epidemic on the iPhone. Though the epidemic is virtual, participants live it in real time, because as they move around they make it evolve thanks to geolocalisation.

The principleThe application gives each participant a status: infected, healthy or in treatment. When a “healthy” participant is geographically close to an “infected”

participant, their status switches to “infected”. Meanwhile, if an “infected” person gets close to an “in treatment” person, their status turns to “healthy”.A participant can change status several times and in turn spread or contain the epidemic just by moving around the city: it is up to them to take the initiative. For example, they can either avoid high-risk areas or, if their status is “in treatment”, lead a “mass cure campaign”.

The applicationsOver and above the immediate impact and communicative effectiveness of Infectious, the goal is to alert public health organisations in order to develop a veritable preventive tool with their participation.

Instead of designing yet another plastic water bottle, this is a water service modelled on telephone companies such as Neuf and Free, which use an existing telephone network. The project consists of buying access to water from a provider and offering healthy water, with consistent quality and fixed prices. Buying bottled water thus becomes a rare, isolated act. This service can be adopted via its objects and its website.

The starting point was a desire to explore living forms and to investigate the possibility of a different relation with plants that live in the urban space. This project revolves around two scales, two forms of plant and human ecology. The first, O, is a domestic food device that assists germination and growth. The second, Olfactory, is an economical, local, mutual model for transforming plants for beauty products.

Thesis

Matter for pretextThesis director: Aurélien Lemonier *

This thesis questions our relationship with the environment, science, technology and production.

The first section deals with the definition of matter over time and the way in which it has been conceived and approached. This section exposes a dual change. Firstly, we have moved from thinking about nature to studying matter. Secondly, thanks to development in both knowledge and tools, the nature we once saw as infinite and omnipotent has become a finite, fragile environment. Yet even as we modify the scale of what we grasp, matter becomes ever more rich and complex. These phenomena make us review our attitude to production and consumption.

The second section looks at certain materials or times in order to observe the evolution of our productive system. Our very first technologies were subjected to the materials produced by the environment, but today they are free of this constraint. Our theorisation of matter aims to take it from the status of constraint to a field of possibilities.

Even the recent emergence of nanotechnologies, brought about by computers, revolves around myths. Although nanotechnologies offer great promise, they are nonetheless still very much in their infancy and, surprisingly enough, we are returning to empiricism. The tools of the nanoworld are costly and complex and require scientific and industrial media coverage in order to attract capital. PR impact is therefore indispensable, even though the stories sound like fiction. Development of the Internet and CGI has heightened this movement, in which it is uses that are highlighted, not objective reality.

In conclusion, it could be wise to demystify nanos if we want to master our use of materials. To tackle the urgent environmental stakes that face us, more accessible technologies or means would be more suitable.

there is a complete lack of overall vision, clarity and visual identity. My project examines the possibilities for a complete overhaul of  transport in Almaty.My aim is to improve access to public transport, thereby changing the local population’s negative view of it – undoubtedly the major problem associated with the service – and increasing the number of people using it. My project thus aims to make the service

more attractive and enhance its image, by improving the level of comfort and thereby its attractiveness.

journey to innovastanThesis director: Françoise Fronty-Gilles *

At the start of this journey I was seeking to define the notion of innovation as applied to developing countries such as Kazakhstan. My research quickly highlighted a number of paradoxes and I realised that both public and private organisations today do not have a clear idea of what they call innovation. Similarly, the Kazakhs never make any connection between the term innovation and their own lives; this word does not have any real meaning for him. Yet in everyday life, new things are regularly introduced with more or less success.So I set out to understand what factors contribute to the introduction of these new things, studying in particular the general approach and cultural specificities.Finally, I examine the place and role of the designer in this context.

A range of multipurpose cooking utensils, designed to optimise cooking on gas. A simple flap around the edge of the object creates a double wall that limits loss of heat by retaining it, making it possible to increase the temperature and its inertia. This flap – an important element in the range – is also designed in such a way as to permit more controlled cooking and to reduce the risk of the flames going out if a pot spills over.

This light was the product of a reflection on the notion of flexibility, in conceptual, technical and ergonomic terms. The polyamide fibre and the ‘bristling’ – a common material and process linked to industrial brush manufacture – have here been transferred to the ‘lamp’ object. The bristles make it possible to conceal the technical elements ensure diffusion of the light source (LED) while also forming the base, which is flexible yet structured. This transposition has resulted in an unusual form, enabling the lamp to be placed upright or horizontally. Label VIA 2007.

Around the world of sleep, quintessential transitional space this project sets out to explore how our interaction with certain objects enables us to go through certain transitional experiences – or not.

Alarm clock #01When a book is placed on the bookmark/scanner, the device starts to read it, gradually breaking down as the volume fades. Our personal reader gradually falls into a deep sleep with us. In the morning, the “alarm” consists of the news dispatches of the day, thereby transforming the intimate voice into a social voice.

Alarm clock #02When the user taps on the transparent surface of the object, the digital display it contains breaks up, time crumbles and, during the night each digit leads its own life, sometimes exploring the objects

around the bedside table. In the morning, they slowly come back together again to form an alarm.

Alarm clock #03Acting like aural blotting paper, this object captures sounds from its environment during the day. In the morning, these micro samples or snatches of conversations are retranscribed in a manner close to granular synthesis, progressively increasing in length and volume. The alarm, always different, thus constitutes an aural record of the previous day.

Thesis

ornament designsThesis director: Sophie Coiffier *

Ever since Adolf Loos initiated the controversy about ornamentation, its use on everyday objects is still relevant today. Modernist designers fought to eradicate it on account of its supposedly superficial and pernicious character, while Postmodern designers attempted to accentuate it in an equally extreme way. In recent years, there has been a so-called revival in ornamentation, which has flourished on many products. Clearly, ornamentation leaves no one indifferent, and the dubious curse that has been attached to it for a century now has merely heightened the aversion to or fascination for it. What is it about ornamentation that makes it criminal for some or, on the contrary, important for others? What is ornamentation exactly? This thesis, which combines theoretical analysis and examination of specific objects, is an attempt to gain a better understanding of this unusual artifact as a way of reappropriating it.

Meeting differentlyProject director: Rodolphe Dogniaux*

For businesses founded on innovation, a meeting should bring about bold decisions and new ideas. Shyness, conformism and the fear of not being liked are frequently present and become major obstacles. This project aims to reduce these obstacles by creating the conditions for meeting differently.

Each participant can thus think independently with a degree of privacy and without being exposed to scrutiny by the others, to avoid being influenced. This structure also obliges each participant to stand up to join the others, for more effective discussions.

Better expressionIn order to ensure that pressure from authority or the majority does not prevent people from speaking up, the table allows people to post their opinions anonymously.

Providing a compassThe tendency to systematise and abstractify work makes it hard to think of work collectively, which is why people often revert to promoting their own interests. Here is a system that gives the meeting its own compass. Through sound analysis of those who take the floor, different images are screened on the wall to visualise the state and progress of the meeting.

Thesis

adult society, childhood valuesThesis director: Marie-Haude Caraës*

Why did Hello Kitty, which started out as a children’s character, turn into a veritable fashion icon? Why is it that the most well- known photo of Einstein is the one where he’s sticking his tongue out? And why did Wordsworth say: “The child is father of the man”? The elements hidden behind these questions are fascinating. By analysing certain characters in contemporary society and researching the history of childhood and the process of civilisation to understand what the essence of childhood and adulthood is, we can come up with some initial answers.

the fluidity of objectsProject director: Jean-François Dingjian *

Fluids such as water or air are elements that could be termed “immaterial materials”. Present but sometimes invisible, visible but often inconstant, they display a rich and very varied formal world. Yet fluids often have little relationship with the objects that control them or with which they interact..

Three distinct levels are tackled in this project: pictorial fluidity, functional fluidity, and fluidity in the realm of digital technologies.

Three objects were created from these experiments:

- A watch that works with ferrofluid. The shapeless, liquid time is fixed through magnetism when you tilt your wrist.

- Tiles designed by observing the natural movement of flowing water. The motif not only enables optimisation of the water, but its position can also orientate the direction of the flow.

- A digital book highlighting the fluidity of information. The technology is hidden in  favour of use. The fluidity is displayed in the ergonomy of the object and the intuitiveness of its interface.

Thesis

the approach to the toolThesis director: Laurence Salmon *

Hand drawing, technical plan, model, software… designers have a host of research and design tools at their disposal. Industrial design is always hovering between art and industry, which makes its relationship to tools rather complex. Be they analogical or digital, tools have an impact in the creative process. The relationship between a designer and his tools is not unilateral, it involves a dynamic: be they victims or masters of their tools, designers have to take a stand.

The Textile Design department of Les Ateliers proposes a three-year multi-disciplinary course that prepares students for the Textile Designer degree.

Textile designers conceive and finalise textiles and products for industry in very varied fields of application: high fashion, professional or sports clothing, the home, architecture, transport, etc.Aware of new uses and technologies, textile designers convey innovation, create and develop fabrics, compose with materials, colours, and graphic designs, intervene in the structure and form of the textile product and master the manufacturing processes.Technological progress and new fibres are now offering textile designers a chance to explore new territories that represent major stakes for society (health, safety, sustainable development…). In a European context that is shifting fast—competition, trade globalisation—the traditional sectors of clothing and environment textiles are today resolutely focused on quality production with high creative and technical added value.

The first two years of the course are spent on textile design projects, teaching and research.The variety of the coursework covers all the aspects of textile creation, from product development to manufacturing.The training favours experimentation and workshop research: each student has a diverse range of high-performance tools at their disposal to make their textiles.

In their second year, textile design students also work with industrial design students on projects that involve a textile problematic.

The programmes are set out each semester and are followed by all the students in the year. The course applies the ECTS system: one year 60 credits.

The third year is a year of synthesis that involves preparation of the degree project, a long-term internship in a firm and/or a study trip to a foreign school.The subject of the degree project will be related to the student’s preoccupations and reveal their ability to project themselves in a professional problematic. The result of analysis and reflection around theme the project takes special needs into account, proposes new values of use and an original, innovative solution. It is developed with the support of a project director and the teaching staff.Each student produces a hand-made design, be it a textile collection, a one- off or a mass-produced object; it can be developed in partnership with a fashion designer, a designer, an architect, a manufacturer, a stage or space designer. It is accompanied by a thesis in which the student explains his or her choice and specifications, justifies their approach and takes a stand…

Graduate designers evolve in highly varied sectors of the textile industry that range from clothing textile manufacturing industries to car furnishings and design research consultancies in high fashion, ready-to-wear, styles and trends.

Tucked inside a hanging alcove, the bedroom becomes a bubble that invites you to drift into slumber, a dream space where everything is possible, like a magical, mysterious casket. Soft, downy, warm materials mix with transparent, vibrant, flowing fabrics. Hazy, blurred motifs with indistinct outlines accompany clear-cut drawings. Watery, pastel, iridescent colours mix with the bright, acid hues of childhood.

Pink-BreastAn object close to the body: the shirt frontIn tandem with Fanny Vincent, industrial design student.

This project belongs to the formal world of accessories, such as the jabot, the collar, the bow tie, the cravat… The approach to the subject is quite technical, process-related. The weaving work enables a passage from 2D to 3D thanks to the insertion of thermo-retractable threads and triple-fabric weaving. The aim is to produce an object that is made during the weaving and requires no seams or finishing touches.

little linen tales

Imagine textile in its simplest form: just crossed threads, strips of fabric, large and small. Take these objects for what they are: fabrics that wrap, envelop, fold and unfold, slip into a pocket, hug the figure… This is what we propose you bond with.Take the time to look at them, touch them, feel them against you. Make contact with them. Don’t think about it. Experience things simply, directly, instinctively, sensually. Essentially.Stop a moment. Take a break in the frantic rhythm of your daily life. Settle down comfortably, and let your mind wander. Roam through the landscapes of your memories. Dream. Imagine, and rediscover familiar sensations, emotions that were buried deep inside you.Give these things a place in your life. Let  them accompany you, follow you, take you with them.Listen to the little tales they have to tell, and write yours in them.

Textiles created following graphic and visual research on memory. The traces, what remains after an event, an object…They are very fine and crumpled, like worn-out fabrics, almost mended…The silhouette is composed of a very short, almost see-through silk dress, a Jacquard corset, silk and linen stockings and a linen jacket. The natural materials reinforce the collection’s worn aspect.

On the one hand, the universal vision of childhood with its bright colours and toys, Playmobil and other articulated plastic; on the other, a personal vision of childhood.The project is designed for a bedroom in which the spaces overlap and link together, each one being able to accommodate just one or two people. The fabrics are conceived as “fabric-objects”.Rug-cubes: here the cube, the archetype of the toy, is expressed in different ways, modelled in volume, woven in perspective, as a pattern or a textbook.The eiderdown presents tiny silk-screened motifs in false plain fabric, with “I belong to…” label in Jacquard weave. The covers are wool, knitted and crocheted. The seat fabric is a linen, cotton and silk Jacquard.

light! Materials workshop

Here the textile designer is first and foremost a creator of materials. The project is presented in the form of a textile experimentation workshop where each stage opens up new creative directions. This research highlights the three elements that represent black and white cinema —light, image and movement — and transposes them into the world of textiles. The project thus expresses the effect of light on textile and is organised around four notions: reflection, transparency/opalescence, nebulosity and shadow.

tiMe CanVas or Close-fitting iteM (2008)In partnership with the industrial design students

The multiplication of small electronic items that are worn like fashion accessories is increasingly blurring the border between technology and clothing. We have explored this in this project through an object: the watch. Certain weaving processes make it possible to integrate components between two warps thanks to the pocket technique and use several types of thread, such as conducting threads, by giving them specific paths, like in a printed circuit. The canvas is a watch, with no case or shell, that has kept only the essential: the components. The textile becomes the medium for these components and links them together. All the interventions were carried out directly on the loom.

VoluPtuous PlastiC and textile arChiteCture (2007)

An intriguing material which, designed from polyethylene bags with a harsh, cold touch, becomes a downy surface that evokes the warmth and touch of fur.Here the plastic has been handled as a noble and precious material. Standard plastic bags have been died and cut into thin strips, which are then woven in strands.This surprising new surface forms a textile cover intended for passageways where passing bodies create air movement. When a draught brushes against the surface of the fur, the plastic hairs quiver and rustle softly.

technological poetry

The arrival of new materials that have with surprising dynamic properties allows designers to conceive smart textiles that are sensitive and react to the environment. This is a collection of textile objects for the home. They are made up of two materials: alloys that remember shapes and change their aspect when they come in contact with heat and thermochromic inks that are capable of going from one colour to another depending on the temperature. An initial experimentation phase enabled these materials to be handled by traditional textile processes, such as warp and weft weave, Jacquard and silkscreen. This phase produced the objects in the collection: a tablecloth, a net curtain and a lamp. They react to heat in different ways.

Evolution, transition, softness, lightness, light, gradations: all these terms can be used to describe what happens above our heads. Sadly, for city-dwellers surrounded by buildings rising ever higher and confronted night and day with artificial light, it can be hard to watch the shifting skies.This collection of home textiles sets out to give urban-dwellers a chance to dream at home by surrounding themselves with motifs, colours and textures that evoke a cloud, a starry sky, a sunset…

Blush

In the animal kingdom, the nuptial parade involves hundreds of rituals, all designed to seduce the chosen mate. It is generally an explosion of colours, dance and song… Funnily enough, on closer inspection, the human nuptial parade is not that far removed. Humans blush with emotion, douse themselves in perfume, adopt certain movements, dance and dress up.This project proposes to bring a few principles of animal love parades into a clothing line for women.The woman will seduce her beloved in five skilfully studied dates.
