I made bike design one of my specialties. It leaded me to a 6-months internship at Commenรงal bicycles in Andorra, in september 2012
I mostly worked on the urban range for them, and tried to add more function and innovation in their products.
HOW TO CARRY YOUR SMALL STUFF ON A BIKE, WITH SPEED AND STYLE? To redesign the «uptown», a bike of the urban range, I decided to add a small cargo space to the frame, keeping in mind the sport aspect of the brand
2 Racing snowshoe A three weeks personnal project, supervized by Benjamin Pauchet and Mathieu GuĂŠri from Kalenji.
My brief The initial brief was to create a pair of shoe for an original or vintage sport. I chose snowshoe racing, and quickly noticed that it wasn’t any adapted shoe.
Promises
focus on high-level snowrunners
integrated solution
floatation
grip NEEDS
Creativity Fit into high-end sport products universe, with sharp lines and technical materials.
step-in bindings, boa laces, carbon snowshoes...
My product : Ficher RCX snowshoe
sharp aesthetics

ultralight carbon snowshoe step-in bindings
A new way to conquer mountains This shoe is dedicated to snowshoe races, providing athletes an integrated and light product, thanks to rotative step-in bindings.
3 The social walkbike A one-month personal project, wich shows my affinity for social design and bike riding, using open-source logic.
Teach children how to ride a bike For too many people in third-world countries, having a car is unaffordable. That’s why they choose bicycle as their main way to travel. Nowadays, severals organisations send bikes to these countries, mainly in Africa. But those bikes are adult-size, and people don’t know how to use it.
I believe that bike riding must be taught at an early age, and that riding a walbike at first is the best way to learn.
Conception process What can we find in southern countries?
a lot of bamboo
Find the right balance between toughness, lightness and assembly simplicity.
old tires

4 Philips 2025 home cinĂŠma A personal project, made during a 3 days workshop with philips. The original brief was to find an application for modern screen technologies.
My insight
Watching TV doesn’t give that much thrills.
So it must become a more immersive experience, like a concert for example.
To have that enhanced new experience, we need a new way to record it...
And a new way to play it, thanks to high-end technologies.
Creativity Fast sketches for a short creative phase
How it works
The TV screen switch from transparent to opaque when turned on, to remain discrete off use.
The speakers also include back projectors, to create a 360 degrees picture, making your show incredibly immersive. The speakers use transparent membran to produce high quality cristalline sound.
