GAMBETTA / TABLE / 2025 / SELF INITIATED
Gambetta is a practical and welcoming table for corporate spaces, dining rooms, and multifunctional areas.
Its design is based on a solid frame that supports four angular legs, giving it remarkable strength and stability. The result is an extremely sturdy and durable table, designed in aluminum to provide a lightweight base. The table is characterised by slightly curved legs that's look like little feet.
OLYMPIC CAULDRON / 2024 / VILLE DE LAUSANNE
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the IOC in Lausanne, the Olympic cauldron I designed for the 2020 Youth Olympic Games was installed on the lakeshore as a symbolic sculpture representing the Olympic Games.
It's funny to see where this sculpture has been placed, right next to a skatepark (inspired by this terrain), and that it's forbidden to climb on it... The symbol before the sport?

CUCHARA LAMP / GARDEN SOLAR LAMP / 2019 / ABIERTO DE DESIGNO & ECAL
Sponsored for the Abierto de Designo 2019 in Mexico City, this lamp was designed in close collaboration with local artisans. Those are specialized in enameled steel in the field of the culinary objects. The goal was to propose a new object for another domain : the garden. Cuchara uses the stamping characteristics of a metal ladle to offer a garden lamp. Made of a single piece, the stamped metal structure provides this basic solar lamp the needed coverage for the LED components and the strength to firmly anchor the lamp to the ground.
CAMPAGNE / DINNING CHAIR / 2022 / METAPOLY
Chairs found in the countryside exude confidence in their structure. On the other hand, the backrests of bistro chairs, exude something very welcoming. I took inspiration from these languages to transcribe them into one chair. Available via Metapoly
CLAP / STACKABLE CHAIR / 2020 / ECAL DIPLOMA
Clap is a a seating with a storage system that allows you to keep your belongings safe for a short break thanks to a lock. While ensuring an ergonomic work posture it consists of a structure in plastic injection and a seat in molded plywood.
OLYMPIC CAULDRON / 2020 / LAUSANNE 2020 & ECAL
For the Youth Olympic Game Lausanne 2020, ecal was mandated to design the Olympic cauldron. My project was selected and produced to symbolize the Olympic flame. Passionate about skiing, this popular and symbolic project inspired me. I love the energy found in snow parks, and the aesthetics they produce. The idea was to take inspiration from them. A universe close to skateparks and snowparks, easily identified by young people. The installation is thus made up of a mini springboard, a ramp and a high basin.
