In late 2023 and early 2024, I decided to switch my iPhone for a dumbphone.

This experience greatly informed my understanding of the subject of smartphones and their place in today’s world; which in turn was essential to my approach for my subsequent semester and diploma projects at ÉCAL.

And in the spirit of the season, I’m sharing photos/memories of my time using this device (and its 5 megapixel camera).

(Oct 2023 - Feb 2024)

An extract of spreads from the book, part of the «…Notes and Rooms on Gardening…» project we did in January 2024. This project was carried out under the supervision of Elisa Medde (@elsmdd), Milo Keller and Radim Peško.

«...Notes on Rooms and Gardening...» offers a commentary on the evolution of the representation of objects through different photo and graphic tools, such as drawings using a camera lucida, photograms in the darkroom, classical digital still life in a studio, but also Computer-Generated Images on a computer, and even Artificial Intelligence, thanks to generative systems. The narration of this project articulates between rooms of a house as a metaphor for the evolution of the camera apparatus, evolving thanks to and through technological progress. Starting from the bedroom and ending in the garden, the viewer is invited to explore each room of a house and look at things, objects, graphic exercises, and experiments.

Our warmest thanks go to the industrial designers who kindly agreed to collaborate with us and take part in our photo/graphic research project.

Our gratitude also goes to CIME (Interdisciplinary Centre for Electron Mircroscopy) and specially Jérémie Bettex for allowing us to freely use their microscopes in their bulding at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne).

Special thanks to Antonio Severi (@antonio_severi) for making the camera lucida we used throughout the process.

A final special word of thanks to Shiny Vallenas (@shiny.val), without whose invaluable help this project would never have seen the light of day.

Just another day in the product design salt mine. It’s been months of fine tuning every curve and detail but the new pack is almost ready for prime time. We can’t wait to share it with y’all soon!

ROLLI is a rotating bedside lamp, allowing the light to be guided into different positions. The lampshade directs the light and serves as a handle at the same time. The advanced production methods at Ceramaret led to the application of self-lubricating ceramic, allowing the lamp to turn smoothly.

During the month of July, Exil has worked on a new form of collaborative project, inviting designers to collaborate with a selected artisan in order to design objects anchored in their specific craft’s context.

More in the coming days.

💡 THE NEW FINAL FORM 💡

The New Final Form is the result of a cross-disciplinary workshop run by the 1st year students in the Product Design Master's programme. Working with Ceramaret, a company based in Bôle that specialises in new ceramic manufacturing processes, the students imagined today's electrical sockets and switches. Our daily habits and our relationship with these devices have changed considerably over the last few decades, particularly with the battery-powered appliances that surround us.

“L_111: Certi ospiti creativi / Kreative Gäste” è un workshop ideato da @kunoprey con Irene Nitz e il sottoscritto tenutosi un anno fa presso il @parkhotellaurin, dove 8 alumni della Facoltà di Design e Arti @unibz_designxart hanno avuto l’opportunità di soggiornare e al contempo progettare per lo storico Hotel bolzanino con l’aiuto di esperti della decorazione (@mercoledi23decoration @jannelli_volpi Hermann Kühebacher, Enzo Parduzzi).
I risultati e la documentazione del laboratorio sono raccolti in questo volume, arricchito da testi storici e critici — a firma di Bettina Schlorhaufer e @giuliasofiw tra gli altri — e pubblicato da @rubbettinoeditore con il sostegno di @uniinnsbruck @unibz @fedrigoni.paper

“Teso” is the graduation project of Antonio Severi (DES BA @antonio_severi) developed under the supervision of Nitzan Cohen and Secil Ugur Yavuz during the graduation session 2021.2

We live mobile lives, whether it is our daily commute, moving from one city to the next, or going on a weekend adventure. People have always searched for better living conditions to satisfy their needs.
Today, globalization facilitates our urge to live in motion, as transportation is increasingly accessible, and it is more and more common for people to frequently move from one habitation to the next. Most furniture is bulky and difficult to assemble, disassemble and ship. Transportation and stocking inventory of large furniture presents high environmental and monetary costs. While our lives and world evolve, most of the objects that surround us are not made to. Changing living spaces require adaptable objects to avoid clutter.
In this project I explored foldable and deployable objects that follow the user in their journey through a life of constant change and transformation.
Sofas are one of the most difficult objects to move, both in and out of the home. I explored ways to make the sofa into a more flexible and adaptable object, reducing it to bare-bones. I aim to build an object that can follow the user and help them without getting in their way.
