Wall Shelf

2018
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Alexandre Picciotto (b. 1982) is a French designer who graduated from the Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL) in 2018 with a master's degree in Product Design. Picciotto produces his own line of products as well as assisting at Joachim Jirou-Najou studio.

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.
