Gates is an interior croquet game for adult players.

It's composed of sycamore maple, cork and leather. It was realized thanks to French and Swiss craftsmen.

The lines of this game, composed of too many parts, have been simplified from the original to make it compact and usable inside.

There are two mallets, six gates and two stakes. Two balls are inside the stakes when they are embedded in the six gates returned. The unit is displaceable through the leather loop.

For the wink, Louis XIV, one of the France's kings, liked playing croquet but he couldn't play during winter, therefore he forsook it. It disappeared from France to be played more in Scotland and the Uk that's why I tried to answer to an old royal waiting.

How your new star could make her
first dreams ?

Your birth gift should be a symbol. The newcomer is the new star of a couple and they want her to realize all their dreams.

Abracadabra is a silver star with the name of the child above. It fits on all her colored pencils, to become her own magic wand, thus, all her dreams will begin with a drawing.

Abracadabra was unveiled during Designer’s Days Paris in June 2011 at Maison Christofle.

How to celebrate the iconic Harcourt glass and his unique shape ?

I return the glass to remove its primary function and to contemplate only its shape. Then, I add a new function which benefits flat coats, the peculiarity of the Harcourt glass.

The tray is placed on the hexagon and the foot of the glass becomes the handle.

This project was unveiled during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan in April 2011 for the anniversary of the iconic Baccarat's glass. In a second time, Flat was shown during the first edition of Paris Design Week in Maison Baccarat for the heritage exhibition Harcourt forever. Visible until January 28th, 2012.

Make bubbles seems to be the only game through which an adult finds a few seconds, the wonder of a child.

Blow is the combination of a spoon and a bubble stick which allows to big children to find again their chilhood pleasure.

Less intrusive but equally effective.

What can we offer to the consumer for his loyalty ?

Practice allows storage and entertainment. The cookies are inside. The capsules are above and when we remove them, we discover an improvised golf course.

A little something could change the coffee time.

Past or present ?

Or is a projection of gold to create a link between a contemporary movement and a traditional know-how.

Gold is used traditionally to decorate. Here, the impulse of the gesture borrowed from the street art allows to date the creation.

The line distinguishes each piece meanwhile creating a collection.

Do we look at the time ?

The story and the value of Audemars Piguet brand are the beginning of this time piece.

Razzle Dazzle is rooted in the ships used during WWI, the starting point in the history of the brand. The volume and the construction of these machines are the watch's foundations.

I was born in 1987 in France. I studied sciences, hoping to discover the world of applied arts and I became a Bachelor in Sciences in Design - 2008 - which is specialised in interaction design and new media.

After a while, I joined the Gobelins school, to achieve a Master in Multimedia Designer Director - 2010 - which took place alternately, and which allowed me on the way, to acquire two years of professional experiences within an interactive communication studio.

These first steps enable me to understand and to analyze the physical interaction related to the image.

Afterwards, time for another step, the one of the object, when I started out at École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne in Master of Advanced Studies in luxury & design - 2011. That’s how the key meetings are putting themselves together : Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, Ronan Bouroullec, Pierre Charpin and many others.

Discoveries and projects of leading brands appeared with Baccarat, Christofle, Bernardaud, Audemars Piguet, Nespresso, or Blackberry and Rado, then exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in Milan as well as Designer’s Days in Paris.

After my graduation, I was selected by Wallpaper* Magazine to be part of the Graduate Directory 2011 who 'might just change the world'.

I will continue my work as a designer in advocating surprise and refine into a reality, always, slightly unexpected.
