UPS: Cellulose Sponge Tresle
2024

    In a rapidly changing world, industrial design is facing new challenges. For the 2024 Milano Design Week, ECAL presents UPS – Under Pressure Solutions, an experimental research project aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the furniture industry through the use of shape memory materials.

    We live in a digital era. Nowadays, every object in our daily life can be ordered online and delivered to our home

    Take furniture. In order to minimise the environmental and climatic impact of buying furniture, two elements are essential: optimising transportation or relocalising the production. These constraints bring new technical and aesthetic challenges to the field of industrial design.
    Here you can see a series of tests to develop a proposal for a trestle that can carry a large table top. 

    To achieve structure on the leg, two flat pieces where stiched together by the top and then hydrated with water.

    Made in ECAL under the guidance of Camille Blin, Christoph Guberan and Anthony Guex.

    In collaboration with: Gabriella Duck Garnham

    His practice constantly strives to combine hyper-local landscapes with the use of advanced manufacturing techniques to produce various material experiments, which often lead to industrial design pieces, limited editions, and self-initiated projects.
