Victoria Guffroy – EXO

by Victoria Guffroy

EXO is a collection of bone porcelain jewelry. Bones are waste products of the food industry, that could be reused as main ingredient in porcelain. Bone porcelain is very robust, and enables the creation of fine and delicate pieces, despite the fact it's not widely applied nowaday. EXO aims to highlight this material, transforming it from waste into precious pieces of jewelry designed to enhance the physical and thecnical proprieties of this material. The collection, inspired by arthropod exoskeletons, includes a main piece that unfolds on the shoulders, and other four pieces derived from it, adapted to various parts of the body: elbows, wrist, finger and ear. All parts are formed by scales that follow curves and movements of the body, articulated and joined by metal connections.

CIN CIN !

with Chris Kabel

Within a one-week workshop with Designer Chris Kabel, BA Industrial Design students were asked to develop a glass for a drink of their choice, whether it was for a cocktail, a fresh beer, a classy Negroni, or simply a glass for water to quench their thirst. The final designs reflect the characteristics of the drink or emphasize how the drink is prepared, served, and drunk. All glasses were blown in the ECAL courtyard with the support of the artisans of Swiss glass manufacturer Niesenglass.
