Brief: Design a set of iconic furniture. Strategic design choice: With my experience of in-house designer, I knew creativity tend to lower when working on the same kinds of products, positioning, constraints, etc... To renew the creativity of the design team, I suggested that we design some furniture, as it is a kind of design we do not usually work on. My involvement in this project: • design team leader & lead designer • project / ressources management • concept • industrial design (sketching, CAD, CMF) • 3D rendering
