About Axel

Hello,

I am a young product designer driven by the desire to produce fair, contextualized, and ambitious design. I have practiced design in very diverse situations, from design studios to carpentry workshops for reintegration employees, for example.
I have built my experience around the relationship between material and form. I have always emphasized experimentation, around techniques and materials but also around new uses, in search of ethical and intelligent production.

I can:
- Participate in or initiate a production and follow its development.
- Produce research around complex uses, demanding ergonomics, relevant inspirations.
- Produce visuals, technical drawings, 3D models, manuals, posters...
- Use a laser cutter, a plastic and ceramic 3D printer, a waterjet cutter, and tabletop and portable machines.
- Make my experience available on specific techniques such as foundry, welding, or screen printing.

Thank you for trusting me with your future projects, and I hope for a healthy collaboration between us.

    I discovered and practiced the studio's philosophy over six months on three different projects, from the research and design phase to the object realization. Specializing in ceramic 3D printing, I discovered and experimented with this technique in production and through workshops with them. There was also scenography work for the Z33 Art Museum to showcase a studio project.
