He was teaching at the ECAL Lausanne for more than 10 years (2003–2014). In his studio he develops articles of daily use ranging from thermos flasks to street lights for industrial mass production or as individual pieces. His works are always functional and pictorial, they serve and make a statement at the same time. The designer’s creations regularly question production methods and attitudes that are adopted automatically because that is how they have been passed down. Some of his products have received international design awards, among others the “IF Gold award’’, the “Design Prize Switzerland”, the “Good Design award”, Chicago Athenaeum and the “Grand Prix Design”.
