Windblower

Victor Férier, Ludovica Gianoni, Daniele Walker

The Windblower fan operates with your breath and amplifies it. Its mobile nature allows you to blow in whichever direction you choose.

Chiaroscuro

Léa Pereyre, Claire Pondard, Tom Zambaz

Chiaroscuro is a lamp turned on or off by touching its shadow. Test the switch – the thinnest in the world!

Broken Mirror

Guillaume Markwalder, Aurélia Von Allmen

Broken Mirror uses a flexible reflective membrane stretched over a circular structure in your presence. Come closer, the reflection only appears when you are right up front!

Delicious Bells

Caroline Buttet, Louisa Carmona, Margaux De Giovannini, Antonio Quirarte

Delicious Bells is a series of bells to celebrate tastings with pleasant sounds. Taste is closely related to sight and smell, but what of the relationship with sound? Open one and enjoy the experience!

Ostinati

Iris Andreadis, Nicolas Nahornyj, Jerôme Rütsche

Ostinati is a family of containers which defy gravity. Looking at them gives you the feeling of floating in orbit, free from earthly constraints.

Il Portinaio

Anne-Sophie Bazard, Tristan Caré, Léonard Golay

Il Portinaio is very helpful automated curtain. As you come near, a hand symbolising a porter comes up to you, leading the way to the rest of the exhibition.

Mr. Time

Léa Pereyre, Claire Pondard, Tom Zambaz

Mr. Time is a clock which thinks it is you and imitates you. Face the clock and the hands will follow your movements. Play with time just for a moment!

Voodoo

Megan Elisabeth Dinius, Timothée Fuchs, Antoine Furstein, Bastien Girschig

Voodoo is a pair of armchairs inviting you to a dynamic and participatory “tête-à-tête”. As with a voodoo doll, the impulses on one chair are reflected on the other – touch your chair to cast a tactile spell on your partner.

Bonnie & Clyde

Romain Cazier, Anna Heck, Leon Laskowski

Bonnie & Clyde refers to objects associated in their daily function. Here is the story of a spoon and a cup of coffee. Deeply connected to the cup, the spoon will follow it across the table, avoiding obstacles in its path.
