OFFSET is a collection of inflatable paper lamps based on compostable air packaging sourced in the transport industry.
The collection is designed around a paper laminated with a natural PLA & cellulose film which allows to maintain a constant air pressure over time. The material is entirely bio-based and compostable.
Composed of a table, a wall and a suspension lamp, the family of lamps has been developed to be shipped flat-pack and designed for disassembly, reducing shipping costs & emissions as well as packaging volume.
In an alternative where innovation relies on bio-based materials, we worked with paper, one of the oldest and most promising natural materials for the future.

Dolent coat stand is a geometric coat stand for a foyer, bedroom or living room. The design was created with the intention to build a simple yet striking shape. A simple groove on top of each vertical plank lets you store a range of clothes, bags or garments, while a tray in the center of the object offers the possibility to store belonging.
Assembled around a circular structure, the object can be shipped flatpack and assembled within seconds.

Going against current sporty aesthetics applied to connected helmets, ROBIK targets a less connoisseur audience with a friendlier and more fashionable design. This product is also in line with the growing market of electric bikes that are mostly used by a new category of cyclists.
A simpler - kid version - was also designed with the possibility to personalize the helmet with various accessories.

Half-way between the hack and the reference, Office Studio, is based on the equipment used in photography and cinema studios. Inspired by the ever-changing sets of photo shootings, the space suggests using the same tools for an office purpose. Those objects offer great flexibility and freedom of motion, which is relevant in the context of small offices.
«Nagi Bioscience proudly introduces the first Organism-on-Chip technology, which combines the use of a simple yet complete organism for in vivo testing – the tiny worm “Caenorhabditis elegans” – with the first technological platform for its fully automated in vitro handling, culture and analysis. Unprecedented possibilities are now open, for a wide range of applications, including: toxicity testing, drug discovery and anthelmintics.»
Collaboration with the internal team to develop a thoughtful and intuitive experience for future customers. It included the industrial design of the machine as well as the user experience of the software.

«Based on microparticles of sweat, Xsensio aims to exploit the information available at the surface of our skin, electrolytes, metabolites, small molecules and proteins.»
In order to convey its purpose, the design represents two drops merging. Gradients of color refer to the capillarity of the chip. A selection of colors reflects different fields of application (medical, sport, well-being, military).

The Oron table is built around a singular base using repetitions of identical oak panels. The “U” shaped structure allows it to cast evolving lights and shadows throughout the day. Its simple aesthetic makes it fit next to a bed, a sofa or in a corridor.
Oron has been designed in various finishes: a natural oak wood or four different colors of stained wood.
The table is available to purchase through the studio.

Cooking scale using water as a weighing principle, thanks to Archimedes’ principle. With no electric component, the scale offers an ecologic upgrade and ease of recycling compared to existing products. The design is based on Pyrex’s know-how of borosilicate glass.
Unfortunately, the concept never got the marketing department approval to be further developed.

Adaptative office layout concepts inspired by theater and cinema stages to answer the Harvard Business School study stating the counter-productivity of open-plan workspaces.
The idea is to offer greater flexibility through an environment inspired by the backstage area of a theatre. In Staged Office, a ceiling structure and floor rails enable the addition and subtraction of various modules: privacy curtains, whiteboards, lighting, acoustic panels and furniture.

Inspired by running jackets, Marathon is a lightweight portable lamp made of nylon ripstop. Using the singular language of technical fabric to create a surprising yet playful aesthetic, this light combines fashion and product design opportunities. The fluid shape of the object refers to the world of speed and performance.
It was then exhibited at the Palazzo Litta during the Milano furniture fair 2018.

Inspired from tape measure, Tape is a rollable light made of standard industrial components sourceable by the meter and assembled around a steel ribbon structure. This means that a five meters light can be rolled up around its power transformer. The light was designed to be used both outdoor and indoor.
The light fits in start-up environments where an easy setting up is required to meet the fast-growing pace of those companies. Also suitable for outdoor use, Tape can be seen as a modernized and more efficient version of the traditional string light.

“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”.
Developed during a workshop with Formlabs & the MIT self-assembly Lab, Celtics is a 3D printed hook offering the possibility to hang twice more clothes.

Research project investigating the evolution of gestures in the relationship we maintain with objects. Movements from different eras are juxtaposed to enhance their Darwinian evolution. Building on Raymond Loewy’s MAYA principle, the research aimed at identifying archetypes to then create scenarios of interactions answering the often lack of clues of use in contemporary devices.
