PORTFOLIO

MANIFESTO
WORK
LIFE
In our current world, I believe Design can be a major
catalyst of the changes that our society needs.
Through my work, I try to express my engagement
and my sensibility with an empathic approach.
I have a very analytical way of thinking. I seek for
connections as part of my research process
to tackle societal issues. I wish to improve in
exploring my context physically, through hands on
experimentations.
I have a strong sense of justice that I try to reflect in
my work, with challenging people in a playful way.
A free electron is a term that suits me well. I’ve developed
social and cultural adaptability during my travels and my
education.
I’m easy-going and effervescent on a daily basis.
A versatile approach to life, always up to discover something
new.
I’m fond of electronic music and have a sentimental appeal
for my home region’s vineyards. I’m also one of the biggest
consumers of Youtube videos, from «2-hour conference on
the String theory» to «How to build a pool in the jungle with
a bamboo stick?».

NISHATI
Nishati (=Energy in Swahili) is a partnership project
with the Toyota Europe Design Center.
2 students and myself were chosen to take
part in a 10-days journey to Tanzania in order to
understand the daily-life issues that the Masai
tribe can encounter.
This ethnographic trip allowed us to create a bond
with the local tribe of Kitwai B, a village lost in the
middle of the savannah. We discovered
their traditions and rituals, and were also able to
identify their biggest struggles.
We aimed at propose solutions that are an
enhanced version of the tool they already had.

Steip,Laurene Senee, Guillaume Andre, Elena

NISHATI
The ritual of cooking is a strong cultural aspect in a
Masai’s daily-life.The blaze is passed from a house
to another.
However, they cook inside without any kind of
ventilation which causes a lot of respiratory
diseases.
Nishati is an oven made out of local clay,with a grill
acting as a battery (Pelletier Cells).
The close chamber of combustion reduces 90
percent of toxic emissions. The pot and the handle
allow people to easily pass the fire.
.
Later, the electricity generated by the heat can be
used to charge a lamp or a phone.

DREAM 2074
DREAM 2074 is a contest organized by Comité
Colbert in 2019 aiming to show how the French
luxury could still make people dream in a utopic
society in 2074.
Comité Colbert is an association regrouping 80
French Luxury brands from all the fields.
The first step was to understand the societal shift
that leads to utopia.
We tried to predict the future by creating a timeline
analysis, taking into account different aspects
of society and environment.
Special Jury Mention for « High quality work ».
Collaborators : Rosa Hamalainen,Roxane Haure-

DREAM 2074
Terre Volée is a self-sufficient platform elevated in
the sky in order to stay in the geographical area
while having the best conditions for the vine.
It’s hovering above Bordeaux thanks to Earth’s
magnetic field, and act as a second skin for the
crops.
The organic and nanotechnological structure is
inspired from Voronoi pattern, it can adapt in real
time to the weather, adjusting the opening of the
roof-structure.
According to NASA, we will experience a rise of 4
degres within the actual century.
This change could be dramatic for one of the oldest
french «savoir-faire» :
Wine making and especially Grand Cru from
Bordeaux.
We proposed a solution to keep producing wine
traditionnaly within this changing climatic context.

IKEA PLAY
IKEA PLAY : What if cardboard packaging
can have easily a second life ?
You all experienced or saw a child play with the
packaging of the brand new couch his parents just
bought.The idea is to enhance this practice while giving
a new perception of the material as toy.
Every year, IKEA is producing 3.5 Billions of cardboard
packaging all over the world.
The goal is to create a new range from this «waste»
while adding only a small step in the process.
Collaborators : Rosa Hamalainen,Guillaume Andre.

IKEA PLAY
Extend IKEA packaging’s life by adding a dotted
pattern, with a laser, on cardboard boxes from
regular product.
Children can easily cut pieces out and start being
creative with it. It strenghten their ability to see
anything as a toy.
Possible advertisement of the product.

CELLULOLAB
I investigate how nature behave in an urban
environment by collecting samples from an
area of one square meter.
My results were organized as a gradient from
the most natural to the most artificial.
Cigarettes butts and dead leaves were the
most common findings all over the city.
Cigarette filter are made of Cellulosis Acetate
wich come from wood pulp.
Dead leaves are mainly composed of
cellulosis. One is process industrialy, the other
is natural.
11

CELLULOLAB
I’ve experimented different ways to combine these
two materials into one composite.
the goal is to create a tool for the city based on
what you can find in.
Cellulolab is a street installation that allows people
to interact and understand how we can recycle the
city waste.
It’s composed of a grinder and a heat-press that can
produce plates these plates.

STATE OF MATTER
State of Matter is a collaboration between
Guglielmo Bozzoli P. and me. This is a series
of experiments on clay-based bioplastic.
We aim at pushing the boundaries of
materiality and challenge perceptions.
13

STATE OF MATTER
This research is about the versatility of this material
and all the different applications it can have.
Through all the samples, we exposed all its
potential and especially its flexibility.
Exploring different ways to use it, from coral-like
sculpture to an alternative to leather.
