Thomas Missé is a product designer who studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven before completing a master's degree from the Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL). Missé has worked with a variety of studios including Formafantasma, Mathieu Lehanneur, Christophe Guberan and Foster + Partners.
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.
