Rimowa.
Designing a range of sustainable packaging for Rimowa and offering a premium unboxing experience.
We are working with the Rimowa brand, for whom we have designed several packaging concepts to protect and transport suitcases sold in e-commerce.
The objective was to offer a premium experience in line with the brand's identity, while proposing packaging that met the eco-design requirements of the LVMH group.
One of the concepts is currently under development and still confidential. We are monitoring industrialization and working on rationalizing and optimizing the design in terms of costs, environmental issues and logistics.

Horizon Thermos Bottle.
Designing of a thermo bottle for the Lexon brand.
Horizon Thermo Bottle has been designed for both indoor and outdoor use, thanks in particular to the carabiner integrated into the cap, making it easy to carry or hang on your backpack. The 500 ml bottle keeps cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 12 hours. We chose anodized aluminum, a material that interacts well with light, to accentuate the perception of details and edges.
This new addition to the Horizon collection is available for sale at www.lexon-design.com

The soundtrack trophy.
For the Rugby World Cup 2023, Mastercard pay tribute to France, the host nation, by shining a light on French emerging musical artists, designers, and the future-facing culture they represent.
We was chosen to collaborate with Mastercard and Octagon to design “The soundtrack trophy” rewarding each Mastercard Player of the Match.
The experience imagined by Octagon and Mastercard is a trophy broadcasting sound created by French producer Surkin and musical artists Philippine and Songø.
From a design perspective, the materials chosen aim to highlight local materials and traditional French craftsmanship with an innovative and contemporary approach. A raw porcelain column with 15 twisted lines represents the players on the pitch and symbolises the idea of team cohesion. At the front, a porcelain cup, enamelled with gold and covered with leather from the end-of-stock of luxury houses, naturally amplifies the sound and improves its quality. Suspended from the cup, a leather strap allows the name of the player of the match to be inscribed in real time.

Métis 04.
This induction-compatible wooden rice cooker is a project created as part of a research residency at Villa Kujoyama* in Japan.
We set out to establish an eco-design protocol for household appliances by meeting with various players in the tech industry. Their research project began by dismantling electric rice cookers. They found that most electric rice cookers were made up of a large number of different parts and materials, making them difficult to repair and recycle. Their aim is to simplify the design of this kind of products, use natural materials and make it easier to repair, by thinking about the separability of components.
We met a craftsman from the Nakagawa Mokkugei workshop, which has been making wooden seals for several generations. The technique is interesting because all the pieces are held together mechanically, without glue or screws.
We turned this traditional technique on its head by replacing the wooden base with a piece of embossed stainless steel, transforming the object into an IH-compatible cooker. In the lid, a smart screen equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor helps the user to cook, giving advice and indicating when the rice is ready.

Lambourde.
Design of a bench to welcome visitors to the Ministry of Culture as part of a call for projects organized by the « Mobilier National »
Designed according to the flow of traffic and zenithal light, the “Lambourde” bench seeks to create a coherent dialogue with the architecture. In order to create a link between the historic building and its contemporary rehabilitation imagined by Atelier Novembre, we chose to use Saint Maximin stone, a local and extremely durable stone, as a reminder of the exposed stones around the windows.
A detail observed in the quarries catches our attention. Wooden joists raise the stones to facilitate their movement and let the stone breathe.
We are inspired by the simplicity of this detail as a principle of elevation and assembly.
We wanted to take advantage of the constraints generally encountered by the upholsterer. Instead of trying to make the seams invisible, a striped textile changes orientation at each junction, thus generating a graphic and identifying pattern.
Unselected project, being part of the 5 finalist proposals.

Isehan.
The brief was to rethink the traditional Japanese lipstick once used by geishas to appeal to an international clientele. Its particularity is that it is made from "benibana" flowers which create a thin green surface. When a brush is moistened with water, the green surface turns red and changes colour according to the lips of each user. The lifespan of the product was only three months, although it is a very luxurious product. In order to extend the life of the product and create a product that can last over time, we imagined a refill to be inserted inside the object. The brush and the water container, necessary to use the product, were independent elements. To facilitate the use of the lipstick outside the home and to make it more contemporary, we designed a compact, sliding wooden box that combines all the functions.

Olaf.
Olaf is a collection of low-consumption heating cushions for the outdoors and café terraces. It offers an ecological alternative to existing outdoor heating systems. A cushion consumes 25 W / hour, while a standard heating system consumes an average of 2000 W / hour. With a current autonomy of 4 hours, the cushion works on battery and recharges by induction, without cable. When the user presses the button once, the heat diffuses for a renewable period of 15 minutes. A specific charger dedicated to restaurants has been designed for easy charging and storage of cushions. Made with Kvadrat textille, the cushions are filled with natural latex-free horsehair foam.

Métis 02.
Métis 02 is a smart air humidifier, which measures and regulates the percentage of humidity inside a room. It helps promote good breathing for people with asthma for example. Healthy air also prevents premature aging of the skin. Made of glass and rice composite, this humidifier can be used like a vase, thanks to the removable upper part. Thus, it offers a more flexible use and the electronics part can be easily repaired if damaged.

Métis 03.
Made of porcelain, Métis 03 is an electric kettle working with induction technology. Thus, it consumes less energy than a standard kettle. The water tank part can be used independently as a simple carafe and even be washed in the dishwasher. The lip, made of steel, is removable. Thanks to a pivot principle, filling the water and cleaning the kettle is easier.

Refill.
Exploring and designing a new eco-refill solution to reduce the use of single-use plastic packaging during care and beauty rituals.
Cosmetic care bottles and tubes consume a lot of plastic and make the bathroom look ugly. In order to reduce the impact of the packaging of Klorane and to offer a product more in line with the expectations of their customers, we conducted a user survey and identified trends in bulk products, refills, in-store products and dehydrated products. This research phase has enabled us to create a totally disrupted eco-refill concept, which will reduce household plastic consumption by at least ten.
The concept and visuals for this project are still under development and confidential.

Rug.
Tracés is a low consumption heating mat made with Kvadrat textile and using an industrial embroidery process. Ideal for large living rooms or office, this backup heater provides pleasant felt warmth. The main idea is to avoid overconsumption of energy in buildings by heating people rather than large volumes. This project is inspired by traditional Japanese houses, where the overall temperature is really low while the feeling of comfort remains high, thanks to the famous Kotatsu heating table.
