Create and design without constraints, in a place that reflects us.
Project: cross-disciplinary activities — from furniture to graphic design to nomadic housing. We are looking for collaborative experiences that promote the exchange of skills and the birth of socially impactful projects.
Transforming a warehouse into a creative workshop.
Challenge: rehabilitating a warehouse into a shared workshop — workstations, mezzanine, offices, photo studio, wood zones and soft materials. Heavy work: electricity, insulation, creating functional spaces for manufacturing and co-design.
A collective human adventure.
Octopus is a group of friends who graduated from school and made a dream come true in six that I had the honor of presiding over; the experience has consolidated our practices and generated numerous local collaborations.
A participatory and solidarity project.
Funding and network: HelloAsso campaign (€15,000), mobilization of friends, relatives, and families, and partners. Media partnerships and influencers to gain visibility and legitimacy.
