Oral B design comp winners!

collectivestories — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:40:35 +0000

Stunning design work by our students who took up the challenge to reinvent the plastic toothbrush. The Oral-B project allowed the students to integrate recycling ethics, Superuse, and modular component design into the year’s first long project, requiring not only creativity and technical ingenuity, but also to prepare a formal presentation in front of a panel of external judges.

Well done to the first prize winner Arianne Fourquier for her amazing handbag (just the job to hold the 2000 euro prize) Second prize went to Yohann Benhamida (body shield, 1000 euros prize) and Oceane Romanet (furniture, 500 euros prize). Bravo to everyone for your great effort in this long project.

Rehearsals at the Opera

Lumiere tamisée, décor somptueux et la privilège d’assister à une repetition en huis clos pour s’exercer en dessin à l’Opera Paris Garnier. Magnifique.

The lights were low, the decor luxurious and the privilege of watching a private opera rehearsal all added to the magnificent drawing experience at the Paris Opera Garnier.
