Place of origin

Pauline Deltour (1983-2021) was a French designer who studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris. Deltour opened her own studio in Paris in 2011 which combined an industrial design approach with a delicate attention to detail.

The 2018 ECAL Digital Market saw the creation of 45 3D printed objects by ECAL Product Design master’s students and ECAL-related designers (faculty members and alumni). A range of innovative everyday objects were presented at Milan Design Week at the Spazio Orso 16, a 17th century Milanese palazzo, which had been turned into a production site and retail shop. The project investigated the possibilities of production on demand, emphasising how fast turnover within the design industry could become, and experimenting with new design details that are too intricate to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques.
