Last week, our Paris design studio welcomed a group of students from CREAPOLE, one of France’s leading creative schools, for an intensive four-day design workshop led by Fabien Nauroy, our Brand and Design Director.
Throughout the process, the exchange went both ways. Students gained insight into how a global brand thinks and operates. Our team gained fresh perspectives, bold proposals, and the energy that comes from young designers pushing boundaries
From Immersion to Creation
Rather than chasing novelty, students were encouraged to focus on relevance. Identify friction points. Simplify existing functions. Elevate everyday objects through thoughtful form, materials, and function.
Between sessions, the workload was deliberate and demanding. Personas, usage scenarios, visual research, material exploration, sketching, 3D renderings, and physical prototypes. The goal was not just to generate ideas but to build coherent, credible concepts.
Passing the Torch
We are proud of the commitment and quality demonstrated throughout the workshop. For us, this collaboration goes beyond a project. It is about transmission. Sharing experience, standards, and vision with the next generation of designers.
Below, a selection of student projects developed during these four days. Remember their names. Follow their work. Some of them might become a defining voice in industrial design tomorrow.
Keziah Mendjisky
A conceptual Apple Watch case featuring an integrated scroll wheel and a detachable neck strap, inspired by Y2K tech aesthetics and early-2000s digital culture.
Emma Langlade
Building on the success of the POP Phone, Emma designed a bold desk dock pairing the retro handset with a front-facing MagSafe iPhone mount, merging modern tech with the iconic landline silhouette.
Maéva Carbonié
Elevating a Native Union tech accessory to the level of art in the home office, Maeva reimagined the essential MagSafe charging station as a sculptural statement piece.
Titouan Bazin
A shock-proof iPhone case with a reinforced frame and a breathable textile mesh back inspired by running shoes, turning the phone into a natural extension of movement, protection, and style.
Remember their names. Follow their work.
