BraidRunnerThis shoe features an innovative upper constructed as one piece using the industrial overbraiding technology. Ultra-light, just 200 grammes in a men’s size 10, it is like a second skin and is aimed at runners looking for sensations close to barefoot running.To succeed in creating a snug and agile shoe that fits like a sock and is as light as a feather is for me, big sport fan and runner, was a unique experience. Being able to use my own prototypes is even more rewarding.Running shoesCarbon, glass fibre, silicon, DyneemaProject with Elric Petit & Kris KabelECAL/2013

WormMy concept for this desk lamp was to design it as one single line. To reach that goal I decided to use a gooseneck and silicone. All the components (LEDs, gooseneck, foot) form a skleleton which is coated with silicone.Desk lampSilicone, gooseneckProject with Tomas KralECAL/2013

The idea behind this project was to re-create the clog.I first visited the last clog factory of Switzerland and I was shocked by the loss of wood during the process. So I decided to design a new clog using the modern technics. At the end only the basis is made with wood using the CNC technology. The top is knitted like the process used by the sport industry.ClogsWood, wool, rubberProject with Jörg BonerECAL/2013

Klompen

For this project we had to design a ship moving only with the wind whatever its direction. Inspired by the wind wall our ship uses adjustable wings which we can adapt to all wind directions.

Wind-Y

For this project we received the electrical components for a small radio and we had to design the cover. It should be thought for the inected plastic technology.My starting point was a flashlight that I own. Like my radio, it is a tube injected in one piece. At the end my radio looks like an horn so the sound quality is better.RadioInjected plasticProject with Christophe MarchandECAL/2012

Verticalhomegarden is a vertical modular hydroponic garden. Hydroponic gardening allows quick culture of a big range of plants all year long without dirt. The system is composed by a basis (the reservoir and the pump), by a small and a tall module which irrigates the plants. These modules can be stacked in function of the number of plants. The closed irrigation system consumes little water and energy, moreover his maintain is minimal.Modular hydroponic gardenInjected plasticProject with Rémy JacquetECAL/2012

An helmet is important for the safety but it also takes a lot of space when not used. So I decided to design an helmet that you can fold in two and have in your bag.Bike helmetExpanded polypropyleneProject with Nicolas LemoigneECAL/2012
