hese “flying objects” were born after a wax and seal workshop. Wax is used to seal a fold instantaneously and momentarily. It is also flexible and very useful in the aerodynamics of flying objects.
During the flight, its life is ephemeral. In fact too high a temperature would melt the wax, and too violent a gust would break it. These “flying waxes” are not unlike Icarus.

ag’Z as it is appropriately named, is intended for people who are really keen on reading magazines. It can find a place in any particular home, in the corridor, in the living room and or more intimately in a bedroom. Everything depends on how users want to display their magazines. Obviously we can also find it in places where there are magazines such as hotel halls or waiting rooms. My wall fixed magazine rack mixed different functions that I identified. Firstly you can jam them into hollow spaces. The tightening in width and depth allows
for the best positioning. Secondly you can jam the magazine open to mark your page and keep your place for the next time you read. Thirdly you notice that there are seven folds so one may be used for each day of the week. Users can order their periodicals. There is also a different fold in the middle of the top of the rack in which you can put special magazines. As we progress into the digital era, manual knowledge needs to be preserved, as do the magazines. My aim was to show that a unique piece of design can be created using very traditional but elaborate craftsmanship.

or the special Olympics, the equivalent of the classic Olympic games for mentally disabled people, we had to create a medal family. Every position in all sports needed to be rewarded. So we had to design 8 medals with new colours for the medals going from 4th to 8th place. Also we had to include a clasp so the athletes could wear the medals around their necks. The

“moment� is more important than the medal itself. I was inspired by solar eclipses that are short in duration but very intense. From this design, I made one medal that consists of 3 differently sized rings. Two of them are angled in opposite directions in order to create a 3D objects. The eclipse is frozen and the moment goes with the winners indefinitely.

ix, assemble and serve. That’s the aim of this family of tongs. All of them can be split to permit users to mix, stir salads, pastas, etc‌ Afterwards they can be joined for service of the meal. Both halves of the tongs are identical so one may be replaced if it is damaged or lost. These tongs are designed for production on an industrial scale with both halves being constructed from the same process. Their production is very simple; after laser-cutting, the pieces are folded on bearings to give them their final form. To finish, a rubber coating is applied to the extremities to ensure a good grip and a sort of personalization for customers.

To make it I had to create 3 pieces in order to mimic the joint’s movement. The joint is assembled by interlocking the pieces.

The orange sphere represents the arm, the indented piece allows the rotation of the arm and the final piece is the collar bone. The whole piece is made with abutments to guarantee realistic human movements. This project has an emphasis on the form aspects of design which the designer has to consider.

ymbolise time and the clock. That is the mission of this project. Here the regular pendulum of the clock is distorted. Actually there are magnets and by their repulsion the repetitive tempo is broken, exchanged for a more random one. Magnets also permit the pendulum to maintain balance. The structure is made with a thin brass rod. To guarantee lightness, the pendulum is made of polystyrene. The whole pendulum can be activated by a little breeze. A motorised version also exists but it is not yet satisfactory.
