Baptiste Meyniel, designer

Firmly positioning himself as a builder of things that have uses rather than a designer of products that meet needs, the objects resulting from his approach nevertheless adapt to different contexts.

Weekend of April 01 and 02
Guided tours of the Sempervirens exhibition

General public


Through a selection of objects and materials chosen for their environmental, aesthetic and technical qualities, the Sempervirens exhibition approaches eco-design from the angle of design and craft. It examines the manufacturing process, the origin of materials, their transformation and ennoblement.


A veritable panorama of eco-designed projects, treated from the angle of the ennoblement of recycled materials and the valorization of local resources, the exhibition brings together a selection of samples whose ecological potential is proven and whose aesthetic potential remains to be refined, as an invitation to reinterpret them.

Over a 5-day period, ENSAAMA's DSAA2 product students used specific shaping techniques (linear, circular and molding techniques) borrowed from staff craftsmen to create an object to be embedded in the surface of the wall, thus shaping the space.

The project reflects on the design and manufacture of one's own tools, exploring the transition from 2D to volume, developing a sensitivity to the way materials take on light, and questioning what it would be like to have a form whose function is apparent.

Under the direction of Baptiste Meyniel.

With students in their 2nd year of the Diplôme Supérieur d'Arts Appliqués - Product at ENSAAMA: Adriana Goepp Amélia Bruel Caline Bousleiman Elsa Saillour
