En mode hybride presents a selection of projects all born of a hybridisation of materials, technologies or types and combining high-tech and low-tech features ranging from the most advanced to the most rudimentary. This type of fusion produces a unique coupling of tradition and innovation. The performance and precision of certain high-tech components imported from the other side of the world are integrated here with sturdy, sensitive structures and supporting materials produced in closer regions. By mobilising waste recycling and valorisation channels, designers are opting to reduce their creation’s footprint in a finite world.
Karbikes 2.5
Christopher Santerre, 2024
A cross between a cargo bike and a city car, this light electric vehicle made of steel, aluminium and polyethylene has four wheels and a passenger compartment for two adults (or one adult and two children). Electrically assisted and with a range of 75 km, it is a safe way to travel in all weathers in the city, the suburbs or in the country.
Faire feu de tout bois
Camille Sardet, 2023
These compressed logs are made from sawdust, a recoverable waste product produced in large quantities by (urban and rural) tree maintenance. They bring an anaesthetic dimension to the ritual of wood heating, with the dancing of the flames and the architectural form, as well as constituting an opportunity to design low-emission forms of fuel.
Pierre
Guillaume Gindrat, 2023
In an energy crisis, using local resources becomes an attractive solution. In this project for a compact wood-burning stove, consisting of a hearth, an enclosure made of steel wire and local stones, the thermal inertia is provided by the stones, which are placed around the outside to store and diffuse the heat. All different, these stones also give this extra heater a unique look.
Laurent Massaloux
A graduate of ENSCI – Les Ateliers where he now leads the "Expérimentations domestiquées" workshop and explores the notions of functional and typological mixing of objects or handicrafts. In 1992,
he co-founded the Radi Designers (Recherche Autoproduction Design Industriel) collective
with Olivier Sidet, Robert Stadler, Florence Doléac and Claudio Colucci.
Since 2004, he has been developing research projects in the form of prototypes or limited editions, with
a particular focus on objects that diffuse light or sound. His creations feature in the collections of the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, the MUDAM in Luxembourg and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Winner of the
Prix de la Monnaie de Paris (2021), he was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres distinction in 2023.
