ÂŤ Wedoo Âť
2014
Cinna is a high range brand which creates furniture and accessories for the house. The aim of the project is to develop a concept using modern and creative materials. I created a wooden low table for the living room. It was made for receiving friends or family at home. It’s about conviviality, simplicity and functionality.

2014
Gä is made out of the stool «Frosta» from IKEA, and I transformed it into a movable lamp. It can be moved around easily in the room. It’s handle allows everyone to carry it, move it around, or take it off of the table. The red thread can be pulled down in order to light up lower. It’s also very long so that the lamp can reach any place in the room. The lamp is quite tall so that you can place it on the table when you eat, place it next to you to read a book, or even on the floor to create a cozy light. Gä is made out of wood, that I polished to look more Natural. The feet are gathered by a system tenon mortise in the middle.

Vegetable slicer
2014
I created a new way to slice vegetables avoiding fingers cut. After analysing how we are used to slice veggies, I was able to witness that it’s hard not cutting yourself. So I created a safe and stable slicer that can be placed on the counter top so that you can slice your veggies directly into a bowl.

ÂŤ Drone concept Âť
2015
I created a platform that can charge drones, wherever it’s needed. The concept it to provide battery to all drones in service, through the cities or the meadow. Also it can be used in places where there is no electricity and provide it to some villages, or camps or flooded areas wherre there is not way to have it.

First idea
L-Lys Drone concept
As soon as a drone runs out of battery, the platform is here to provide it a charging area. First I thought it could be interesting to have it in the air, flotting above the city, but after all, it could be strange to see a big balloon suspended on top of the city.

ÂŤ Life Âť
2014
My project is untitled Life. I oriented my experiments on the fragility. Fragility is a term associated to delicatness, lightness and sweetness. I worked on transparence, and contrasts between the material of the support, the textures and the colors. But after all, I thought that one thread could be so fragile but when you put a lot together, it can be very tough. Then I decided to create a contrast between different textures, colors and an environment and the thread. It wanted to draw a rythm.

ExpĂŠrimentations
Installation fil de Nylon SĂŠrie de photos couleur
I made an installation with miles and miles of Nylon thread, in the middle of a ruined building, abandonned. I made a contrast between this fragile place and a tough thread, where the thread is solid and resistant. It gives a rebirth to this fragile place, a new breath. There is a contrast between the weak place I chose and the toughness of the Nylon.

ÂŤ Temporality Âť
2015
I worked on temporality and the fact that the times flies. I represented the layers of the ground through years and centuries. I used textures such as sand, dirt, pigments, paint, paper, glue...

Final triptych It illustrates the layers of the ground, from the surface of the earth to the rocks layer. It’s a way to show how the time has been passing, from the underground to the surface.

ÂŤ Portrait Âť
2015
I work on the portrait, and the texture of Acrylic paint. I thought it was interesting to show parts of the face the were the most interesting for me. I hide parts using layers of paint.

Mix between the forest field and a roller skate. I used different kinds of pencils. I draw both mixed together so that we can still see the object but it’s invaded by the forest textures.

A graphic way to tell the story of my trip. I went to Turin, in Italy for my European Bachelor internship, where I made a travel book. It’s all about food, museum visits, my experiences there, what I did during my internship. Where I’ve been to, what I ate...
