Micro Folies - Festival Voix de Femmes, Octobre 2013

Nous avons été contactez par l'organisation du festival "Voix de Femmes" pour gérer la scénographie générale en partenariat avec des étudiants d'ilusatration et de scénographie.

Micro Folies - Vitrine du Tempo color, Septembre 2013

Il nous a été demandez de créer la vitrine du tempo color pour montrer le tempo et illustrer nos activités.

Nous avons décidé d'étudier la matière cagette qui est un déchet créer pour transporter les légumes de différentes parties du monde. 

On a découvert que en dépieutant cette dernière pour garder le fond, il est possible de la courber et de l'utiliser comme cache lampe. L'effet rendu est très intéressant.

Micro Folies - Micro Festival, Aout 2013

Pour la nouvelle édition du micro festival nous avons créer plus grand espaces "lounge" avec un total de 65 assises dont voici quelques exemples.

Pour plus d'information, dirigez vous vers l'onglet "Micro Folie" à droite.

WUP - First Prototypes by WuPcycling Design, February - June 2013

These prototypes are only made with up-cycling materials found in the city of Liège like advertisement banners, photography from a photographer collective and cut off production of a tarp company.

The research was mainly based on waterproof bicycle bags such as double bag and bag pack connectable to the bike rack.

Premiers prototypes par WuPcycling Design.

Ces prototypes sont entièrement constitués de matériaux revalorisé comme des bannières publicitaires, des photographies d'un collectif de photographes et de chutes de production d'auvent de caravane.

Parici Lamp by Superuse Studios - Object Rotterdam, February 2013

Concept Designer - Benjamin Stainier

After the internship at Superuse Studios they develop the lamp I designed into a product.

Here it is at "object Rotterdam" at NAI.

Concept Designer - Benjamin Stainier

Après mon stage chez SuperUse Studios, ils ont développé la lampe en un produit de Design.

Ils ont aini lancé le produit pour la foire "Object Rotterdam" début Février 2013. Voici quelques photos de cet événement.

WUP - Interview about waterproof bike bags, January 2013

This is the interview about the waterproof Bags made with the Scandinavian Media Association.

WUP - Reused Bike Bags, January 2013

My main challenge is to create waterproof bike bags. With the same materials as before, truck tarp and off cut of production, I designed bags which can be drop on your bike and carry on your shoulder. My idea is to promote bicycle transportation in the daily life where a waterproof designed bag would be carried on the bike and on your back.

The technique I use is pretty simple : two parts (off cut and truck tarp) are welded together to make a dual relation between a certain pattern and an uni-colored side.

These bags on the pictures are the first prototypes made by hand.

I will try them soon on a bike trip to test their resistant to see if it would be possible to commercialism them.

WUP - Water Proof Wallets (first generation), December 2012

These different wallets are part of my study of Designing a re-use pvc coated tarp such as cut off of production, advertisement banners and truck tarps.

For theses ones, I only used cutoff of production.

Their differences in shapes and models give them an interesting impression of what can be done.

Porte-feuille résistant à l'eau

Ces différents porte-feuilles sont les premiers modèles de mon étude sur l'utilisation de bâche en pvc en design.

WUP - Banners Water proof Bags & wallets, November-December 2012

First collection of my study of waterproof bags made out of cut off of pvc coated tarp and advertisement banners.

The technique used is a welding process between two materials. The first, is a one color tarp which is making the sides of the bag, the second is a piece of advertisement banner.

The sides are made with one color tarp which are welded on the front and on the back a piece of advertisement banner. Thus, I use a wooden mold to create the shape.

This first collection is experimental and is showing my study and research about this re-use Design.

Collection : Sac & porte-feuille résistant à l'eau en bannière

C'est ma première collection sur mon étude de la création de Design en bâche de pvc.

La technique utilisée est de souder à chaud deux parties de bâche. La première est un coté de couleur unie venant de chutte et la deuxième est deux parties de bannière publicitaire.

Pour faire la forme du sac, j'utilise une forme en bois pour ainsi soudre proprement et donner une forme aux deux pièces.

Rotor - Bruxelles

Rotor is a collective of people with a common interest in the material flows in industry and construction.

On a practical level, Rotor handles the conception and realization of design and architectural projects. On a theoretical level, Rotor develops critical positions on design, material resources, and waste through research, exhibitions, writings and conferences.

Bureau Detours - Aarhus, Copenhagen

Bureau Detours is a creative organization with great interest in creating social environments in public spaces. They operate on various platforms in a mix of art, design, architecture and city-planning  The key is, inspiring young and old to relate and bond with their city and neighbourhood.

When the creative entrepreneurs Bureau Detours work, there are designers, carpenters, architects, electricians and visual artists working together to solve the task ahead. Bureau Detours’ unique mix of disciplines, have created changes and surprises since 2006. Out of all these experiences a philosophy was created to construct urban studies and present design methods in scale 1:1 in the public space.

Refunc

REFUNC is a laboratory for economical life-cycle extension and creates experimental structures based on waste material streams.

Refunc is providing a second life for found or thrown-away objects. We operate on the borders of architecture, art and design and create new products from old materials.

Origin for designs are found in the object itself, by listening to its own composition, history, or local and social context.

We we need a problem to play with, creative improvisation with locally available waste materials lead the way to our often unpredictable results.

Superuse Studios

2012Architecten designs products and buildings and develops strategies to facilitate the transition to a sustainable society. A shortage of fossil fuels and other natural resources is already forcing major changes in societies around the world. 2012Architecten develops processes that empower local exchange and production, as an alternative to transporting our resources, products and components around the globe. The work of 2012Architecten shows that waste streams and limited resources are an opportunity for innovative design.

Superuse Studio - Research on Perspex Lamp (Parici), August-September 2012

As a personal project for Superuse Studios, I designed a family lamp set by reusing the old perspex panels with various commercial imprints of cosmetics.

The idea was to create lamp by using one 50 x 50 cm panel. The production time should be minimized, so that it could be affordable to anyone.

When I analyzed the material, I realized that this plastic board has interesting bending possibilities. I first tried to use a simple fohn to bend the edges, but without success. Later on I created myself a dimmable hot wire bender to have a nice uniform angle.

I realized that the board can be only bent in one direction because the commercial sticker on one side might burn or stick off.

To get different lamp shapes I simply cut the rectangular board in various ways: 3 longs strips, 4 little rectangles or 4 triangles.

The concept of the design is creating a set of lamp parts, which can be easily assembled by anybody.  It also should provide possibility to position and modulate the lamp in different ways. For example, the triangular lamp can be used in different ways depending on the number of pieces used : on the wall, hanging or like a diamond.

Recherche sur une lamp en perspex (parici)

Comme projet personnel chez Superuse Studios, j'ai fait le design d'une lampe composé de vieux panneaux de perspex, qui est un panneau plastique translucide, où des imprimés de bouteille de parfum sont collés.

L'idée est d'utiliser le panneau de 50 sur 50 avec le minimum de coupe et de pliage pour minimiser le coût de production. Le design doit être abordable pour tout le monde.

Quand j'ai analysé le materiel, j'ai réalisé que le panneau de plastique pouvaient être plier. J'ai décidé de créer un fil chauffant pour le plier. Le panneau ne pouvait être plier que dans un sens dû à l'impression colé dessus.

J'ai développé deux types de lampes, une où la plaque est coupée en quatre par le milieu de cotés et l'autre où elle est coupé par les diagonales.
