“It is a huge honour. Just being nominated was already an achievement because Design Parade empowers young designers. This award in some way validates my work. It’s a real boost.”
— Stéven Coëffic
Selected from among ten finalists, the artist presented his own interpretation of day-to-day objects.
“I wanted to focus on the functions forgotten by design, especially switches. They have a critical purpose of giving access to the functions of an electrical object. And yet, they are often forgotten. I design day-to-day objects to create a fun conversation between humans and the object, between art and design, and it all comes together through ceramics and glass,” he told us.
